I may drop the sock when actively moving from spot to spot, but I always case the gun. The sock just provides an additional layer of protection while traveling.
Incidentally, I also store every gun of mine in my gun safes in a sock. i picked that habit up from an old Kentucky "backyard" gun dealer. You can place guns in and out of your safe(s) a little easier if they are protected that way. It really turned out to be a blessing when the tornado hit my farm last year. The gun safes took a few cartwheels through the debris field, but every gun escaped unscathed and in perfect original condition.

Glad to learn your guns made it through the twister. I also store my guns in socks in the safe…barrels down.
