I don’t remember any part of the check in process where I would have been able to put the case back in with the rest of my luggage.

That's odd. I've flown with a pistol several times and it's always been the other way around. After TSA does their check the locked pistol case gets put back inside a piece of my checked luggage. What have they done with yours? Just tossed it on the conveyor belt like its another piece of luggage?

Yeah, they just tagged it like another piece of luggage and sent it down the line. One airport it got spit out with my luggage in the baggage claim, another I had to pick it up from the lost luggage office.

Honestly I never thought about putting it in with my luggage. Partially because that's where I had the ammo stored and wasn't sure they could be in the same container even if the firearm was secured in it's own. I hate being in airports enough as it is so I try to follow the instructions to a T.

Huh, maybe my secure (pistol) traveling cases are smaller than yours. I guess my larger fitted one could go on a conveyor belt okay but my smaller one would easily be lost if it wasn't inside something else. Every airline has different rules though so the difference could also be that you are flying SouthWest while I'm normally on United / Frontier.
