I'm in a situation where I'll need a mobile way to conceal a gun that can't be on me at all times, an idea of a hollowed out book comes to mind, but does anybody else have any other ideas out there?
I have seen books hollowed out and other such things. The best way to make it inconspicuous is take something that is around you all the time and make it into something that can be used to carry the gun.
"Secure" and "not on you all the time" might not work very well...
If you carry a firearm in something "off body" (bag, case, day planner, lunch box, tool box, etc) the chances of either forgetting it, misplacing it, or having it stolen go up rather quickly.
I have to ask what is the situation where this could be needed and not be totally breaking the law? I totally understand having a couple of guns stashed around the house as I do. But where are you trying to sneak a weapon that you can't leagally do so anyways? I am only assuming this since you say it has to be mobile. I just hope we aren't helping to give you ideas to help you do something illegal. I will say I carry an LCP in my pocket almost always. The only time I don't is when I am wearing nicer slacks for a business meeting or something and then I have a day planner that I carry it in. Looks like I am just bringing it with me for work, no one has ever asked me why did you bring that and never open it.
I have the day planner from Dillon and it works well. There is essentially a holster inside with a Velcro retention strap and a loop that holds one magazine.

It's nothing illegal, more so political, and as far as details are concerned, I know when not to open my mouth, but rest assured there are no laws being broken in this matter
You didn't say what the type of gun it was you need to conceal or it's size or when and where it can't be on you. This could be a big factor in how to hide it. More info would be helpful.
For lack of better word I have a manpurse...LOL... It is a knock off Maxpedition cross shoulder bag in coyote brown. It carries my Full frame .45 XD and 2 spare magazines, flashlight, compass ect... Not exactly an executives choice but it works for me. I also have an old guitar case I am planning to use for the 870 and a few boxes of food for her. Makes me think it will be a bit less conspicuous when going in and out of a hotel room.
