My NRA firearms instructor - a secret service agent and the first female US Air marshal - instructed us that if we separate the barrel and slide of the weapon from the grip and place them in different bags it is no longer legally considered "gun" for transportation purposes within the US.

This is apparently how many law enforcement travel with their firearms when off duty. When travelling by air this prevents them from having to put a big red TSA notice on the bag that basically says "steal me".

Utah has a multistate concealed carry license good in 30 states but does not include New York, SC, Del, or NJ on the ICW.
