....be sure it is a WELL-PADDED 'old gun case' - ok to be worn and 'tattered' but since it helps to 'carelessly drop the gun a couple times on the way to the house, and act unconcerned' you want a well-padded case...
A friend of a friend of mine (....
well.....I'm his friend, and he is mine....

) sometimes leaves the 'item' in the car for awhile, comes in to check out the house, and after his wife is in the bath-tub or something, quickly brings the firearm in the house and to the safe, leaving the box and stuff out in the car or barn to deal with later.
One time, a whole mess of people were visiting, and going to be there until after this er, friend, had to leave to go to work, so he stowed the gun in the 'beer fridge' in the barn where it spent a few days until it could be rescued....
Mostly, though, I don't spend much on guns anymore, and sell ones to fund others; thankfully I built my collection up when I made 90% of the family income (now I make about 10%). She'll outlive me though most likely, and get some money selling them off, so it will even out in the end....
