From the entire article, I think the above quoted text describes it best. With responsible owners, you'll find them transporting their equipment (AEG's, GBB's, etc.) to and from games in locked hard-body gun cases with trigger locks. This is a practice that my team instituted early into our formation to prevent any sort of misinterpretation from the law enforcement community. Not only is it a safety measure for the player, it is a safety measure for the police member. No one has ever been shot by a police officer for carrying a gun case.
