Get cases. Walmart carries full-size hard cases for something like $30. I've stored my guns in an old UTG soft case for the last few years, without attracting any attention. I made two trips cross-state on a bus where at least a dozen people saw the bag getting loaded on the bus. One lady asked if I played the keyboard.

Never carry your airsoft guns concealed. Not even in a coat pocket. That counts as concealed. You can get your a$$ shot, and if you survive, you can go to jail, and face a host of other issues.

So, get a case or two.

Minor possessing airsoft guns in public is a bad idea, concealed, bagged, cased, or otherwise. Keep them in your closet or your car except for at events, and when cleaning.

I would suggest getting a case, anything we as airsofter's can do to prevent anymore bad media attention should be one of are number one priorities. For those of you who are to cheap to buy an actual gun case i would suggest carrying it around in the box the replica came in or some kind of bag, and if for some odd reason you have no bags in your home, go to the goodwill and pick one up for like four dollars.

A good habit to lean new is to treat them as real firearms. Unloaded and in a locked case. Carry mags and ammo separately.

If you really want to be extra paranoid make sure the magazines are empty as well.

Carry them the same way you would a real firearm. Fully loaded on the dashboard of your car ;)

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.

Your magazines should be empty anyways, to keep the springs from dying.

In Canada you do not need to have the orange tip on your Airsoft gun's. Airsoft guns are prohibited device in Canada and are illegal to take into Canada and are illegal to buy but if you can get them into Canada and some how buy them you can have them, it has been that way since 1998 (Canadians thank :evil: liberal party of Canada and bad media attention for that). so like all the nice people here at AP have said "get a case and don't show the Airsoft gun/gus in public" so the U.S. does not get stupid laws like Canada :)
