The Rothco Concealed Carry Bag SKU 2649 features a dedicated, lockable concealed carry compartment that standard gym duffels completely lack. This allows you to transport firearms legally and securely to the range, training facility, or competition without mixing your handgun with dirty clothes or gear. At 2.5 pounds empty and priced at $63.99, it's purpose-built for shooters who need organized storage for ammunition, eye/ear protection, cleaning supplies, and a concealed firearm—all in one bag. Standard duffels force you to improvise with pistol cases or risk unsafe mixing of weapons and personal items.

Yes. The Rothco SKU 2649's concealed carry compartment is spacious enough for 2-3 handguns in soft cases or wrapped in protective cloth, making it ideal for USPSA, IDPA, or Steel Challenge competitors who bring backup guns or multiple divisions. The main compartment holds magazines, holsters, belt rigs, and spare parts, while exterior pockets organize tools and cleaning gear. At 2.5 lbs, the bag remains manageable even when loaded with multiple firearms, 500+ rounds of ammunition, and competition accessories for all-day matches.

The Rothco 2649 features a lockable zipper system on the concealed carry compartment, allowing you to secure firearms during vehicle transport in compliance with many state laws requiring locked containers. While specific regulations vary by jurisdiction, the ability to padlock the CCW compartment helps satisfy "locked container" requirements in states like California, New York, and Massachusetts during transport to ranges or while traveling. Always verify your local laws, but the lockable design provides a legal transport solution that standard range bags don't offer.

At 2.5 pounds and designed as a compact tactical duffel, the Rothco 2649 fits most standard gym lockers (12"W x 12"D x 18"H), though you should verify your facility's locker dimensions. However, most ranges and training facilities prohibit leaving firearms unattended in lockers—this bag is better suited for keeping your CCW secure in your vehicle trunk or bringing it directly to the firing line. The lockable compartment adds security during brief stops, but never leave firearms in gym lockers or unattended public spaces.

Absolutely. The Rothco SKU 2649 is constructed with reinforced stitching and heavy-duty materials designed to handle 25-30 pounds of gear. One thousand rounds of 9mm weighs approximately 30 pounds, plus 3-5 pounds for handguns and accessories, putting you at the upper limit. The bag's dual handles and shoulder strap distribute weight effectively, though for regular transport of bulk ammunition, consider splitting loads between this bag and an ammo can. For typical range days (200-500 rounds), the Rothco 2649 handles the load without stress on seams or zippers.
