Im looking to enter a local homebrew comp and would love to give my beer the best chance possible by bottling it using the appropriate gear. I would be forever greatful.
 
Take a bottling wand, stick it in the end of a picnic tap, turn you keg pressure way down. Run a starter pint out, fill your chilled bottles & cap on foam. If I'm feeling motivated, I'll run the same setup from the C02 tank & flush the bottles, really not 100% necessary.

(I don't live in San Diego and I don't have a beer gun [emoji6])
 
Yeah... this method works awesomely.

You can always check your work... if the seal is good on the bottle, the carb isn't going anywhere.

Fill one, cap, then open and test it out. I mean, you'll have to drink a beer (which sucks, I know), but if the carb is good... it's not going to fade with time, assuming a proper capping job.
 
I have a beer gun and I still use the racking cane method listed above for anything less then a half dozen bottles of the same beer. Less cleaning and much faster.
 
The BierMuncher method wins. Cheap and easy and you most likely have everything you need.
