I am going on a one way to pick up my car, so I don't really need luggage, just not sure I trust a small pistol case that is clearly a pistol with the baggage department.

Advice appreciated.
What I do when I travel is put it in a suitcase. Read your air carriers policies. Usually they want you to be the only one who can unlock your gun case. The locks on your handgun case should be just to a key you have on you. I use pelican cases with dual locks. Then I use an odd color zip ties on my luggage. Usually the same color but something not easily found. Black is easy to reproduce. Also you should store your ammo in a box separate of the hand gun case. I Usually just use the ammo boxes they come in. The card board is fine. Just needs to be contained and does not have to be locked up.
