I have had two 101s that came in luggage cases. I now have two 28 gauges that are in luggage cases. I have kept them, knocked down and in their luggage cases, in the safe. As Ted said, they are a PITA in the field. For that, I usually assemble them and carry in a long case. The luggage cases do look cool at the skeet range, though. I would/do not go to the extra trouble to remove them from the luggage case, assemble them and store longways in the safe. I have enough room to store cases and all inside the safe. I would heartily agree with condemning the practice of storing guns in a zipper case, especially a plastic, waterproof one. This will eventually give you a sickening surprise when you open one to find your treasure has mysteriously grown a coat of rust. Condensation happens, even in the dry southwest, where I live. Worse, in humid areas.
