Carrying Case For Concealed Firearms

Abstract

The present invention relates to a concealed firearm carrying device that is configured in such a manner as to alleviate the inherent disadvantages of other concealed carrying devices; it incorporates safety features that good practice dictates without interfering with practical use. The device is made in such a fashion so as to cover the firearm's upper assembly to help retain the shape of the holster and secure the firearm, and to cover the trigger and trigger guard thus reducing the possibility of an accidental discharge when drawing the firearm.The device is further configured to provide sufficient clearance for inserting the fingers of the drawing hand on the front side of the firearm's butt below the firearm's trigger guard. The quick releasing type of closure mechanism including magnetic closure further provides quick withdrawal of the firearm carried within the device and the device is adapted to receive firearms of various sizes.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0008]The object of the present invention is to provide a carrying device that can completely conceal the firearm without revealing the shape or part of the firearm.

[0009]Another object of the present invention is to provide a carrying device that can be worn in plain sight. Thus, the user can dress in a manner of choice or comfort.

[0010]Still another object of the present invention is to provide a carrying device that provides features to ensure good safety practice, thus reducing possibility of accidental discharge.

Problems solved by technology

This is generally accomplished by apparel that must be worn at all times, thus limiting the user's choice of dress or comfort.

Some require placement inside or underneath apparel that must be removed or disengaged before accessing the weapon, thus limiting quick access or deployment.

Although there are previous examples that do not reveal the shape or part of the weapon, the access they provide to the firearm is limited because the firearm is fully enclosed via zipper or other closure.

These require the user to open the zipper or closure and reach inside to grip the weapon for withdrawal, thus limiting quick access and deployment.

In some instances the trigger may be exposed inside the enclosure increasing the possibility of an accidental discharge when attempting to deploy the weapon.

The user may not be able to grasp the handgun properly because the handgun may not be secured in place.
