Traveling with pistol and powder

Yeah, the stories he tells of his uncles…..I think they are a little shady…..

One of his uncles grew out his beard and hair and wore a sheet around. All the old folks thought he was Jesus returned and would feed him and let him sleep in the best bed they had. He wandered around for 2 years doing this. He said the older people were very superstitious back in the 1970’s…

Hey everyone, im planning a trip from New England to Puerto Rico in august and looking for some feedback on traveling with a black powder pistol. I have a colt cap and ball pistol that I’m fond of and would like to take with me. I understand I can take the colt if I declare it and it’s in a locked case, but am having a hard time finding definitive answers on whether I can bring powder with me. They allow ammunition in a separate locked case, but can’t find anything on powder specifically.
Has anyone travelled with powder before?
And any ideas as to what primitive firearms laws are in Puerto Rico? I can’t find anything on line. Don’t want to get the the airport and have everything confiscated

Between the likely gun laws and the government corruption I would not go there myself or take any guns or ammo.
Although someone here claiming PR gun laws have been relaxed may be somewhat accurate, that does not mean the current government there is following the Supreme Court ruling.
Heck, there are jurisdictions here that routinely disregard SC rulings favoring gun owners.

How many days and nights are you willing to risk spending in an offshore jail cell over a gun?
DON’T DO IT !!!

and dont forget, it only takes one TSA guy to say this is not legal and take your stuff. He is the legal authority at that point, your pistol is now gone, you gonna spend thousands on a lawyer to maybe get it back. Maybe? if they can even find it, because your beautiful pistol (to you) is now down some federal rabbit hole in some evidence locker somewhere someplace that nobody can find. You really want to go there?

That is, of course, if it really makes it to the rabbit hole and not someone's personal collection.
