My son is away at medical school, living in an apartment building. He wanted to shoot at a nearby club but the thought of moving guns from his apartment building to his truck every time he goes shooting seemed to be a bad idea. I gave him a locking gun cabinet for his apartment but he has to walk in plain view from his apartment to his truck. Even a plain case would attract attention from the wrong people.

I suggested a custom fitted, non gun type case, like a musical case but he said he was afraid they figure the violin might be valuable. After about ten minutes thought, I came up with the perfect guncase for him. It is a baseball soft case with a bat compartment on one end. Holds a 32 set of barrels while the receiver rides in the bag above with his eye protection and ear protection. To make the entire thing look even more innocent I used a zip tie to attach a old fielders glove to the bag. So now, when he goes shooting, the entire world knows he is going to play baseball or softball. Best way to hide something is to put it in plain sight. Total cost for the bag was $9.00.

For some time guns thru airports were camo'd in golf bags. Took a while for gun owners to discover that golf clubs are the most commonly stolen luggage in the terminal.

I like that idea, Jon.

Sometimes seeing you carrying guns to and from your vehicle can have the opposite effect. It can send the signal that this is one we don't want to mess with. Out here where I live almost everyone within miles knows that I am a shooter, and a gun toter, and when they walk by on the highway they do so on the opposite side of the road, and at a fast pace. My house is within a stone's throw of the highway, and completely visible to passersby. Occasionally, when someone suspicious looking walks by on the shoulder I will pop off a couple rounds in the opposite direction, just to give them something to think about.

The only break-in we have had, in nearly 48 years here, was when my wife was visiting our son in AZ and her car was not under the carport. The d...a.. broke in and stole a stereo, and left three loaded long guns in the house. He paid for it with about 6 years in the pen, and paid me in cash for my loss.
