Least Conspicuous Long Gun bag?

Just use a regular gun case, and put "Gay Pride", "Rainbow", "Lamda Rising",
"Support Gay Marriage" stickers all over it.

If anyone even LOOKS at you funny start whining about being persecuted and how you're going to call the ACLU and "I can't BELIEVE you would question my right to exist!"
 
You guys have cases??!?!? Just kidding... I actually play the trombone, so I have a spare case, that happens to be padded and long enough to fit an AR, Mini14 and my 10/22 (not all at once unfortunately) and is extremely discreet so +1 on the trombone case idea.
 
I agree with the bat bag. We found a potential shooter here that had carried some in his bag. He was wearing a baseball jersey, shorts and ballcap so no one suspected.
 
It wasn't made terribly clear, but from the OP I was more convinced that you live OFF-campus. Is this incorrect?

If not so, be PROUD. If so, plenty of suggestions here. Bass guitar cases can be really long and well-padded and easily carried.
 
If you get a golf club travel case like one of these: http://www.nextag.com/hard-golf-travel-case/search-html you can put long guns in soft cases and stuff a whole bunch in there. Fill the spaces with handguns in soft cases. This will fit a lot of guns.

The golf club cases typically have locks (I lost the keys to mine, though). That's good to fulfill legal requirements for transporting firearms, where required.

Be advised, people do steal golf clubs, too, but the case is discreet.

Also, shotgun takedown cases often fit inside a big Outdoor Products duffel bag. I've done that to keep thieves from eyeing a shotgun in the car.
 
The ugly padded gig bag that my Tele came in (used) is perfect for the AR15, can easily hold the rifle with the mag in and the rear sight up, plus an extra mag or two. It's got a shoulder strap too.

Nice thing about a guitar case is that nobody seems to notice it.

EDIT: Man that bag on that carpet is an eyeful.
 
if guns arent allowed on your campus, then do you think it's a good idea to sneak back and forth with them like that? Even if you will probably never get caught...

either way, bat bag works great for any normal long gun. If you want to be more discrete, then you can always disassemble the gun so that you can stash it in something smaller if possible to seem even less suspicious
 
I was in a store the other day (I think Sportsmans Warehouse) and they were selling a "guitar" gun case!

Now it is mainstream!

One of my good friends in college lived next door to a bit of an out-of-the-closet gun nut. This guy constantly entertained me... Living in an apartment complex just off-campus, would always tape his targets to the picture window that everyone had to walk by on the walkway at the apartment... All kinds of gun owner signs, and he didn't seem to believe in gun cases. I'd always see him walking out with a bolt rifle or an AR-15, just all casual like :)

So much for the discrete near-campus thing!
 
I found a long box from some cheap vertical blinds they use in my apartments slide in the rifle and some padding and you are good to go. Also helps with theft because there are better things to steal than cheap vertical blinds....
 
I'd say just get a nice Storm case and carry it in that, if anybody bothers you say "none of your business".
 
I'm actually in the same boat as the OP, I have a couple soft guitar cases that work great for most of my long guns but not my savage or my M1, the savage being just under 46 inches long.

I'd like a soft bag with shoulder straps for it so I can ride on the motorcyle with it. like I can do with the 10/22 and the AR.
 
I think something like cavarm's bag is great, it looks like a folding camp chair. Guitar and golf club bags may disguise the gun but they're still targets for theft in a college town.
