That's what I've heard. Supposedly, when they had the Olympics in
Atlanta the warned the international shooters not to travel through
Boston on their way.

A sticker on the gun, or on the outside of the case - saying "There's
a gun in this one, steal it now!!"

Yes, but I'm licensed in California - no reciprocity at all. IIRC a
CA resident can get a license in Arizona and get reciprocity in
something like 5 states, but the one you want is Kentucky.
