A sock with a draw string to close it is fine for transport.
If you are thinking that you may stop in somewhere for breakfast then think storage rather then transport. For this reason and due to the fact that I have a hatch back, I like to have my gun in the gun sock in a hard case with a pad lock on it. This way it is in a locked container for storage if I choose to stop somewhere, it is covered since it is in a hatch back and it is unloaded and in a case when I grab it to walk out to my blind. This works for me as it just makes things easier as a grab and go sort of situation.
The lock will pop off, using the flat side of your hunting knife . They pry off very easily. Been there , done that!
Admittedly I am retentive when it comes to firearms so all of mine have a trigger lock even when they go in the safe. Getting used to having them on makes sure that I have a good routine. My boy is 10 and he knows how to handle rifles. However I don't think I can envision every scenario so I just leave them on all the time, even when I have them in the truck.
I buy the combo locks that way I don't have to worry about forgetting a key and ruining a lock breaking it open which of course adds risk to scratching a rifle - this would really really pi$$ me off.
BBD - howled and laughed re: "For that lovely "eau de gun oil" cologne smell..."
I always thought it was a good smell, same as cordite. Lets face it, women don't buy perfume to smell good for men, they buy it to smell good for other women. Took me a while to realize that but it is true.
D- who do the stinky easterners at Walmart wear it for. The entire store. Discussing IMO. Sent you a txt as well.
