This is what you do. put the foam down on the bottom cut out a say. 8x10 square. Then glue down the foam. In the square, put a velcro strap on the briefcase part, this is where you will strap in your holstered gun. Then get some 8x10 legal pads, and place them in the slot. Then you can carve out other shallow spots to place pens, biz cards, what have yous. When you open it, just say you like having things organized and in order, also you hate the sound of pens rolling around inside. which is why you have the foam.
