Do these contraptions really exist? Are they just Hollywood hoopla? See them mostly in westerns, but Henrietta Lang has one.
Taxi driver used a home made one.
Just as an academic query it is possible such a device would render a firearm NFA just like the wallet holster in tandem with the High Standard DA 22 mag derringer.
Apparently concealment devices can make weapons into AOW status. This is the only example I specifically know of though.
Edit to add: Specifically the wallet holsters are NFA because they allow the gun to be fired while still being concealed. (Don’t ask me who makes this stuff up).
An up the sleeve contraption is probably fine as long as the contraption does not allow the gun to fire from under the sleeve
Still and interesting notion.
Dude, stop giving them ideas! Keep that up and it'll be a crime to be armed unless nekid!since I can presumably fire my S&W J frame from my coat pocket, why isn’t my coat + pistol an AOW?
I am somewhat curious about this—since I can presumably fire my S&W J frame from my coat pocket, why isn’t my coat + pistol an AOW? Is it because it isn’t purpose-built as a holster? Or should I just not look for logic in the law (often a good rule of thumb)?
