LUCC in a CamelBak

[$P-Ritch$]

Precisely. The original idea was to exploit the convenience of using a compartment in a small and versatile backpack for not only bicycle excursions into the great outdoors but also on my road bike around and between towns. My bicycles have taken me all over the state and while LUCC many not be ideal against an emanate threat, it is still my only recourse.

Again, right on the money... my car does not have a trunk which qualifies as a locked container. Naturally I have a pistol case but it is bulky and cumbersome to carry in any concealable fashion.

Sounds like we're in the same boat. I ride my road bike to USPSA and IDPA matches every month carrying my pistol in my camelback H.A.W.G. At the moment, I use a pelican 1200 case padlocked and stuffed into the pack, but this takes up way too much room. I can just barely fit the gun, holster, belt, mags, ammo, ears, and barely get the zipper shut. Now I think I may run one of those cable loops through a molle strap and lock both zippers to the loop with luggage locks.

Also, I drive a subaru wagon (no trunk) and nothing IMHO is more secure than a pelican case aside from an actual safe. So, it just gets tossed in the back with a couple heavy duty padlocks and I'm done with it.

Right, there's a case mentioned on Jim March's web site. I'd like to see that case. 25(d) is pretty specific about the suspension from the waist and it does not use the language that is used when examples are listed. It could be that the guy just got lucky with a jury. I would not do this wager with a felony dangling over my head..

Seems not to have been up to an appeals court, so unlikely to be available.

The CalCrim jury instructions say the guiding cases are

Substantial Concealment.
People v. Wharton (1992) 5 Cal.App.4th 72, 75 [6 Cal.Rptr.2d 673];
People v. Fuentes (1976) 64 Cal.App.3d 953, 955 [134 Cal.Rptr. 885].

or even walking to or from a gun store/range/etc.

oh man that reminds me of all the hoopla that was started that LUCC only applies when a vehicle is involved in your travels and so many people were convinced that it was "illegal ccw" to LUCC on foot not involving a car..........
