I'm still trying to figure out why he thinks his gun will be more secure in a backpack than carried on his person.

I have my ccw and am new to carrying. I do a lot of fishing, many times from a boat. Is it legal for me to have my firearm in my backpack while I am out in the boat?

Yes. The backpack is under your control. Don't worry about it.

That's fine. On your hip, on your chest, no difference.

I fish a lot. From a boat. Weapon is almost always in my backpack which is quickly available to me. In fact during the winter may be faster from my back pack than my hip. And I understand that. If I sense a threat its at my side. Somewhat lime when I am asleep. next to the bed. Not under the covers. But off your body you need to take precautions to prevent a ND
