Buy the one that says to all your friends and neighbors:

"There are guns in this bag, steal me"

Any of these bags have lockable zipper compartments??

I use this, best for its money.

I own this one too. Got it about 5 years ago and still going strong.

I kinda want to use a backpack now that I live in a place where it takes 45 minutes to get a lane. I'd much rather wear a back pack in those situations. That's the only reason I would get another range bag.

my question is, why are you leaving a bag with guns/ammo in the open for anyone to steal when walking from your front door or garage to your car?

if you leave any bag in that situation it says "steal me"

and if you are talking about once he reaches the range and at the pistol match, then that is one shady match location that other competitors would want to steal stuff from your bag when you are competing.

This ^^^

I always bring my guns with me inside (never leave them in a car) unless I'm shooting after work. When I do this I bring a folded duffle bag and 3-4 single pistol range bags and put them under my folded down seats in my SUV. Car looks completely empty. That and park at the space right outside my office window...

My personal opinion for a range bag is to go to Home Depot and get a Husky tool bag that zips up. For $30-$50 you'll find a much bigger and more durable bag than most "range" bags. And they fit a ton of stuff in them. It's a good way to save money and get a solid bag. Just my opinion. It's what I use.

So you think your neighbors don't see your every more once you poke your nose outside your front door?

"Shady"? We have been called many things, but shady is a first. The other competitors may feel free at anytime to attempt a five-finger-discount from my range bag.

That's what I did. I can stand the digital camo as it's pretty similar to the free NRA bag I've been using as my range bag currently. The free NRA giveaway bag is pretty poorly made and it's amazing it's stayed together as long as it has.

1. sure, all of my neighbors have probably seen me carry gun shaped gun bags to and from my car. pistol cases, gun boxes (from new purchases), ammo cans, target stands, etc.

I have also brought home other expensive items like large tv's, computer parts, camera gear, car parts, motorcycle parts, etc from my car or van into the house.

i sometimes even open my garage door and visible is all my stuff that is stored in there like tool boxes and yard equipment, and various other things.


2. yes, if the competition you goto where you also have to worry about other competitors stealing your stuff, i would call that shady, and would never goto that place again unless they can guarantee things won't be stolen by other competitors. name any other competition where each team has to worry about the other teams stealing their stuff? Nascar, Indycar, F1, MotoGP, NFL, NHL, MLB, etc. nope none of them.

if having your stuff get stolen at a IDPA/USPSA competition is a given, then i'll never compete cause that is BS and shady.

spectators are a different story, since anyone can walk up and watch. so as long as spectators are kept away from competitor area it solves that issue easily.

Doesn't matter if I'm on or off the range; stick your paws in my range bag and bad bad things will happen next.

If you want to show your neighbors how many guns you have then good. That means the nosy sheet-heads will be focused on you instead of me. When strangers have a Need-To-Know my business I'll post a sign on the front lawn in 7 or 8 different languages, including pictures. That will be the day.

who says i am purposely showing them all my guns? i'm just carrying my stuff to and from my house / car like a normal person. i'm not blasting sirens, and yelling on the bullhorn "hey look at me, i have guns and ammo, please watch me carry it to the house/car"

i'm not going to be a paranoid "gun-nut" and hide that i own guns or enjoy shooting.

wait maybe i should only unload guns in the middle of the night so no one is watching? but wait, they can see my face, maybe i should wear a mask too so just in case someone see me walk into a gun store they won't know it is me. i mean one can never be too careful right? maybe give out only a false name to all my neighbors just in case when you first move in so they won't know who you really are.

imo, if i see a neighbor being that suspicious to hide all details about themselves, i think they are either a criminal or someone with something to hide, and i actually put more focus on them and watch them more closely to find out what it is they are hiding so i know determine if they are ok or someone to report to the cops.

...to and from my house / car like a normal person.

"Normal''. You think your California lib neighbors think that it's 'normal' to pack guns around in your car? Where do you think your are, Free-America?

Tell the world you are packing a heater. Be my guest. That means there are less nosiy neighbors, anti-2A LEOs and just the run of mill dirt-bag meth head looking at you rather than me.
