They always come out on the carousel. I almost always travel with a handgun and since its a violation of federal law to label the luggage and container as containing a firearm... there shouldbe no way to tell what case has the firearm.

Lots of misadvice in this thread. There are specific packing & checkin requirements. Check with the airline several days before your departure and be sure you are in compliance.
Looks like the OP has done this before, he's just worried about having to use a case that makes it obvious. Unless the rifle is easily broken down, I'm not sure how that can be avoided.
