I too try not to be too obvious when moving firearms. Cardboard boxes for supplies, baseball bags or something that doesn’t look like a rifle bag for firearms (if they fit). I’ve already had neighbors bringing up topics I don’t want to discuss when I don’t know them very well (at all, really). It’s just prudent not to show the world your new PSA JAKL or whatever ![]()
They are not above recruiting your kids to rat on you for soon-to-be-illegal items.
“Merely wanting a gun should make you a felon”
My father taught me the same. He used actual rifle cases and such. But he always instructed me to get the car as close to the front door as possible. Make as few trips loading/unloading as possible. Dont make a trip if a neighbor is watering/mowing/lingering outside, etc.
It’s none of the neighbors business what you’re doing and what you have inside the house. Also when leaving the range, go directly home. No stops at the grocery store, etc. That leaves your items in a vehicle alone in a parking lot. People could follow you from the range.
Dad’s gone now but I still follow these rules and pass them to my kids.
your dad was a very smart man. my grandad tought me the same things as well. sometimes you just dont know about people, so you should minimize the possibility of problems with people as much as you can. better safe than sorry after all.
“500 trips later, the neighbors had grown uncomfortably suspicious and started to ask questions about the size of my wardrobe.”

“… and the strange propensity for cased Guitars and Tennis Racquets…”
Seemed to me the tennis bag may raise a few eyebrows when paired with the handicapped tag hanging from the mirror. LOL.

Some lady at kroger earlier stopped me and asked me what i needed the pack i was carrying for lol. My answer may or may not have been what she was wanting to hear lol
I got the blk. one. Came w/a deal. I like it. Holds a pistol w/3 mags. and a rifle w/8 mags. easy.
That’s when you touch your ear, turn your head slightly and say out loud, “Target acquired, permission to engage.”
Tell that to the guys shoplifting from lowes around black friday…them kobalts look mighty fine
I hear it even comes with scratch paper in case you need to make a note.
I was able to do 5 disassembled pew pews at a time with 3 different suitcases.
Plus it was after dark.
It’s a vicious circle. PSA keeps putting out the deals. Need a bag to carry it all. More sales, more stuff, more bags…gonna get a trailer.
I need another safe.
Might as well designate an entire room

Ive used 5.11 my entire mil and dod career. Want to try some new stuff for a change. Now to build a rifle and find a bag for it lol
