- Well, yes and no... If the interior is clearly customised to be a
- gun case, then it is a gun case ... And if you clearly letter the
- outside with the words 'GUN CASE' (say in 10 point type on the bottom ;-)
- that would add some more 'proof' ...

- All good advice...

- BTW, a cruise through the '93 Shooters Bible shows that my favorite
- dream piece is still available... a semi-auto Thompson 'Tommy Gun'
- with FACTORY Violin Case! Yes, it is available with a guaranteed to
- be a gun case 'cause the manufacturer says it is 'Violin Case'...
-
- Might also prove to be a decent precident that a music-like case
- with gun holding interior is really a gun case ...
