Generally if I have multiple connections I won't check my guns, too much opportunity for it to miss a connection. If my final destination is within a couple hours of the airport and there are multiple flights behind mine I may do it as you can have the gun delivered to you by the airline when it arrives in the next flight.
I try whenever possible to fly direct to avoid those issues. Also I sometimes purposely take a connection with a longer layover to make sure the bags will make it. These days airlines are real popular for these 35-45 minute connections, barely have enough time to make it across the airport, you're asking for trouble with a schedule like that.
I haven't had a serious problem yet, knock on wood.
