what Scott reports about seeing gun cases laying unclaimed at the baggage claim is true and alarming. This is the case in Denver, as your baggage may hit the baggage claim before you, but most times not. I live in Colorado Springs and do most of my travel out of there. I always have to wait quite a while, 15 -20 minutes, for the bags in Colorado Springs, and the walk from the plane to the baggage claim area is less than 5 minutes. In Denver it is about 20-30 minutes to the baggage claim area and still have to wait 15-20 minutes for bags. If you go into Denver, hussle to the baggage claim area and ask the folks working there where your case is coming up at, most likely the ski turnstill or give one of them $20 to go down and bring it up. If you fly into COS it will be placed on the ski and golf rack next to the baggage area. If your real worried about it, fly in and out of COS, smaller airport and less things to go wrong. Like I said, I've never had a problem and I've done it a lot.
