Covert Operations Case – Keep Your SMG Discreet

Concealed carry firearms are relatively easy to carry. Get a good holster, some pants, a solid belt, and a short, and boom, it’s covered. A pistol is great, but a submachine gun or short rifle is much better. They tend to be a little tougher to conceal. It’s not a weapon that hides under a […]
