Answer 3

Its funny you should mention this because i too pondered this not long ago. i came to a clever conclusion when staring at my guitar hanging on the wall. put the rifle in a guitar bag or case. guitar carriers are very similar to rifle bags or cases because it offers padded foam to protect the instrument. i strongly feel that this would work well. one concern i had is maybe the scope (if you have one) may be wedged or tight, but i think it may rest safely in the wider body portion of the guitar bag. also the length should not be a problem because there are some longer that usual guitar necks that should suffice for a long rifle. i also picture being able to put a pistol in the guitar body area of the bag. guitar carriers come in conventional over the back slings or in a backpack style to wear, and are readily available in local music stores. a guitar hard case would work perfectly, as it provides better protection. i have not tried this but i feel strong about it. and the best part is, a "concerned parent" (as someone mentioned) will only see a biker with his trusty guitar. (laughing to my self right now because i just remembered the movie Desperado, with Antonio Banderas as a mariachi player/assassin. well hope this helps.

Answer 5

In Texas you can just sling it across your back, as long as you aren't carrying it in a manner calculated to cause alarm.

Other than that, the soft rifle cases sold in most sporting shops should do fine. Unless you are in a panicky state (i.e. California) I wouldn't worry about people guessing what's in there. If you are legal in transporting it, and have taken some measures to secure it, that's all that can be asked of you. After all, it's not like you can put it in the trunk of your motorcycle ;-).

Answer 6

tie it in the side of the motorcycle and cover it whit a beach towel or something.and it also depend on what kind of motorcycle.

Answer 7

rifle case and put it on the side of the bike. make sure its covered and strapped. and no one can tell its a gun. cause if a nervous parent calls the cops on ya and u have the gun u can get into big trouble.
