Carrying an airsoft replica in public is a quick way to meet your local police force if you aren't careful. Since these toys look like actual firearms, the rule of thumb is to treat them as such from the moment they leave your house. Whether you are walking, taking the bus, or even just driving your own car, keeping your gear hidden is essential to avoid causing a panic or getting an unexpected visit from armed response officers. BZ Tactical got a guide for you in transporting your airsoft guns and kit.

When it comes to hiding your gear, you have a few options ranging from basic to high-end. If you are just starting out, the cardboard box the gun came in is better than nothing, though it lacks style points. For those looking for more protection, soft rifle bags are lightweight and affordable, while hard cases offer enough durability to survive being run over by a vehicle or dropped from significant heights.

Safety doesn't stop at just bagging the gun; your overall appearance matters too. While wearing camo trousers is fine, walking around in a full plate carrier and holster is a bit much for a trip to the local shop. The goal is to get to your game or the technician without being mistaken for a character from a high-stakes action movie. Keep the gear in the bag until you are in a designated safe zone, and everyone stays happy.
