Transporting Airsoft Guns

[Steve]

Another thing to consider:

Cases protect your investment. A good case is a heck of a lot cheaper than a good AEG.

And if you go with a solid color hard case and throw the right stickers on it, passersby are more likely to assume that it is a keyboard than a gun, which can make life a little less tense.

Also, my experience has been that showing up with a Pelican case draws almost as many oohs and aahs as the SAW inside the case does. And a big chunk of airsoft is about th 'cool factor'.

Buy a good case. Spend a little more, and you get better quality. Bring a tape measure and measurements of what you want to put in the case with you when you shop for the case, leave at least a half inch of wiggle room on your measurements, and always, always, always physically measure the INSIDE of the case rather than the outside.

If you get one with multiple layers of foam, you can trace what you are putting into the case with a sharpie and just trim the foam to fit. It takes very little time, and the results look a lot more professional.

That's what I'm doing with solid cases for my sidearm, optics, and primary. I got 3 hard cases for $45. Landed them at a Cabela's sale

Nice!

I traced with the pen angled slightly inward, so the foam holds everything in place fairly tightly. I also cut carefully, and gave the foam SAW to the kid of some friends of mine.

I roll w/ a sidearm between my seat and center console, only because theholster can get uncomfortable. if i'm riding passenger, my AR is between my knee and the center console.

And occasionally we'll stack the gun rack in the window full of ARs.

You're so cool. Man, I wish I was as cool as you.

nah, i just know my rights.

[shakespeare]

Yeah. Cases are the way to go, they protect the guns and make them legal to carry around. I once had to carry an airsoft M4 in a backpack, disassembled, to a friends house because I couldn't get a ride. I was afraid the gun would break and was unsure of the legality of it.

[lilwil]

The public disturbance laws pretty much take away your rights. No proof is required to say there was an anonymous caller that was disturbed by you having guns in view. Don't be dumb, just keep them out of sight and out of mind.

[McNair]

Again, the more we treat them as being illegal, the easier it will be for them to be made that way. I have no problem sacrificing my time with Police discussing my rights. I've yet to have a problem in the 9 years I've legally be able to own and transport a firearm.

I'm a bit of a gear queer so I really keep my gear clean and scratch free, so Its almost implied for me to use a gun case.

[Bad Karma]

I'm just a queer in general, so I keep my kit in my a$$.

[Raging Hormann]

I don't have any cases yet, except my pistol case. I'm a cheap bastard, and when I transport via car, I just wrap it in my shemagh.

[Bad Karma]

Trunks are cool.

[k3gn3123512]

I just throw all my gear in the trunk. If no one can see it no problem can be created. The a$$ is a viable option too. But be weary the good feeling will cease when you remove the gun.
