Looking to buy a soft shell gun case but the one I like doesn’t have the shape of a rifle so I’m wondering how the laws on concealed firearms would work on this? It’s not like a guitar case or anything but I’m wondering if I need to get a patch or label saying “firearm inside” or whatever

It doesn't have to look like a gun, it just can't deliberately be obviously not a gun case.

I know that doesn't help much but consider it like if you're taking a violin case and putting a gun in it, that's illegal, or if you take an office briefcase, that's illegal. But if you take a case sold at a store as a gun case or a generic pelican style case, that's not illegal.

Except those things may also be illegal, if a prosecutor decides they might be.

Frankly if you're getting charged for it, you're in way deeper trouble and there will be many other charges in addition to that one.
