Nosy neighbors? How to carry 2 guns without looking like it

[bluemoon_wulf]

Just got my newest piece which I thought maybe some of you could be interested in too.

The utg alpha battle carrier. It is a sling bag that fits 2 bullpup. With the guns stored head to tail, the shape is more sport, like racquet, than a rifle bag. Also not lot of webbing sewn all over, so, to me anyway, doesn't look military either. The padding seems decent, but it is untested by me.

So, subtle. Maybe? That way my neighbors don't know every time i go to the range (very rarely). They don't know to rob my toys. ( still waiting to get my "nice" gun.)

What do you guys think?

Pretty cool idea as long as your guns fit. Thanks for the post.

That is a good looking bag. How are the zippers? Sturdy or weak?

 

[bluemoon_wulf]

The zippers look fairly sturdy. Pull string, not tab. Does not say kyy. Zipping feels as good as most packs. Not monster teeth like my scuba carrier.

It claims it can be locked. Tiny tiny loop for a baby pad lock. That's a funny sales feature...just take the bag... Slash the bag...break the lock with squirrel teeth..

Sounds like mabey a move in the near future if your wiried about theft..I am cery fortunate that everyone in my neighborhood shoots! Being out in the country we all have shooting ranges out in the nirth forty so to speak. We have had a couple breakin issues over the years but being a well armed area we have always caught the bad guys, nice to have good neighbors !!!!

Nice bag whats the length of it?

Nice bag whats the length of it?

I think it gives the dimension on the label in the picture. 34 in x 13 in

That’s a great looking bag, I also like the fact that has Velcro straps to hold the rifle in place. I’m using a Prince tennis racket bag. Yours looks to be much sturdier than mine. 

 

[bluemoon_wulf]

They offer 2 sizes. 30 and 34 inch. Couple color variations

Actually I did use my soft guitar case. Too snug for 2.

My backpack has no padding to avoid bruises, and looks like you are going hiking. So this utg caught my eye

Lots of ways to carry these things so one does not look like an evil gun owner to the Karens both female and male of the world. ;^)

That UTG patch kind of gives it away to anyone with a history in guns though.

 

[bluemoon_wulf]

Apparently my example for you is backwards. The pocket is meant for the barrel

Per Bio, I thought that too. Utg is utg. But a small patch which can be covered if really needed. Don't think I need.

 

[biohazardman]

I fergot to say how nice that bag is especially for two guns. I like it better than most gun cases I see around.

 

[dizzums]

i think the neighbors 'specifically' seeing you put a gun case in the car lets them know that if you show up and catch them on your property theyre gonna have a BAD day coz the gun is with YOU lol ... so carry a gun case to the car every time you leave even if its empty .. when your out and about though you dont want random criminals knowing you have hardware in your vehical so keep it on the down low ...

 

[Mr.H]

I like that! Another option for discrete transport are padded guitar/bass gig bags.

 

[c_m_shooter]

Guitar gig bags work great for carrying to range when it will be a long way to the range on the motorcycle, and you don't want attention when stopping for gas or lunch, or overnight.

The hell with your neighbors.

I have NRA stickers on my cars

I wear NRA logos on my clothes.

When my partner lived five doors down, I used to carry my rifles/handguns and gear down to his car for hunting shooting excursions.

I live in California and my neighbors know they are safe.

i would say unless my neighobors are helping mow my lawn or pay my taxes buzz off.

The old adage applies in many cases including this one:

.. attract more flies with honey than vinegar. With a provocative attitude making enemies would be easier than making friends. Friends trust friends more than enemies. This concept can be witnessed on any grade school playground.
