Peeling off from another thread, let's talk about ways to transport a rifle (or carbine, PCC, etc...) and keep it near you without alerting or unnerving those around you.
I've seen some recommend tennis racquet bags or musical instrument cases. While those don't necessarily scream "gun", a racquet bag does stand out as strange if you aren't at the tennis court. And when is the last time you saw someone shopping in a store with a saxophone case slung over their shoulder?
There's lots of urban unrest right now. Many reasons why one might want to have a rifle with them, but not be obvious about it. Even just a way to get a rifle from your house to vehicle and back without all the neighbors being aware. So, what do you carry and how do you carry it when you want a bit more than pop than a pistol?
dis·creet /diˈskrēt/
adjective
- careful and circumspect in one's speech or actions, especially in order to avoid causing offense or to gain an advantage.
- intentionally unobtrusive.
I subscribe to the "gray man" line of thinking when it comes to keeping a long gun near me. Hidden in plain sight is better than concealed but raising questions. "Tactical" rifle bags, and even some of the "stealth bags" out there are too easy to recognize. MOLLE webbing, 5.11 logos, even some shapes (Sneaky Bags comes to mind) stand out and make anyone who's halfway observant wonder what's in the bag.
