Open Carrier Develops LUCC Rig - Video

[CitaDeL]

Home made case with keyed lock. Looks GTG. No more school zone issues. No more (b) checks.

Locked Carry box?

Anyone seen this video yet? AB144 hasn't even taken affect yet, and some enterprising individuals have this to offer....

Seems alittle silly, but then again, not when considering our inane firearms laws here....

That's pretty cool. I see a small manufacturing business in his future.

What, if anything, is undignified by making your firearm available for use under the law?

I would say that being unarmed is far more degrading than this person's solution.

Dupe. By about 4 minutes.

Thanks for the heads up.

Ever seen the mythbusters where they try to jab the shark in the eye while being in its mouth? You really think you'll be able to grab the key, open your lockbox, draw and load your weapon while being assaulted/held at gun/knife point/pepper sprayed to the face?
Good way to wind up severely injured or dead and for a criminal to get a gun. Maybe it'd be time better spent actually trying to build a rapport with elected officials/running candidates and educating people on how backwards the gun laws are.

He took away one of the big advantages of LUCC. That isn't concealed in any meaningful way.

Even if you had a loaded firearm velcroed to the front of your shirt, you would be helpless in if an assailant immobilized you from behind. Especially if he brought four of his friends.

There will always be worst case scenarios where the defensive use of any weapon is not practical. The purpose of being armed is to provide protection in those situations - and there are many more than than the fanciful worst cases that you suggest - where it provides an enhanced margin of safety.

Your mileage may vary. Firearms for personal protection are a form of insurance. Some people choose to buy the insurance, others don't. The insurance costs more for some people and in some situations than for others.

The point we should be making is not whether the insurance is necessary or practical, but that it should be available to those who desire it.

And I'm not arguing that point. I fully support license to carry, and loaded open carry. Not to sound like an anti, but carrying a pistol in a locked box on your hip does strike me as having little penis syndrome. I'll be sticking with my pocket knife and violence of action if it becomes necessary to use, I place better odds on those then fumbling with a key/combination lock with adrenaline, endorphins, and fear pumping through your system.
I'm no legal eagle or politician, but fighting the good fight with this tactic doesn't strike as the most effective or practical way.
I'll applaud whomever decides to carry like this, and pass for myself.

I think it's pretty cool.

Would be better with a combination key + buttoned combo.

Wonder if it could be manufactured with a case that is nothing but lightweight injected plastic.

maybe a locking mechanism that works like a bullet button, in which ANY key will pretty much open it; but still require a key

double face palm. Deal with the problem rather than band-aid'ing solutions into place. Get our rights back.

So, you would rather bring a pocket knife to a gun fight? Clearly there are circumstances where taking immediate action is preferable, but your hypotheticals are narrowly tailored to suit your arguement. (And could easily be used to disprove your preference to carrying a pocket knife.)

What good would a pocket knife be in the event of an indirect threat- like an armed robbery, mass shooter, or riot? Without a firearm, you have no hope to thwart an assailant or a group of assailants. If this is so useless, why then would you argue in favor for licensed concealed carry, if such carry requires the same amount of time to present a firearm for use?

Funny. You got part of that right without intending to. You are correct that his handgun is not concealed, since it is in a 12026.1 compliant case. You are wrong however, when you assert that there is ANY advantage to carrying LUCC beyond compliance with the law.
