You gotta check and see.....I heard any "holster" that you can fire the firearm while still in the holster is an NFA device and considered an AOW with all the registration requirments. Don't know for sure but if so it would be playing with fire.
You don't have enough guns untill you don't know how many you have.

It is because the gun wouldn't look like a gun. AOW's include firearms that are disguised to look like something else. It follows the doctrine against concealment, which concealment of arms has a long history going back to Roman times of the act of cowards, assassins, and persons of nefarious intent. ....thus what carrying concealed is a regulated privilege in most states, and such disguised guns are regulated as NFA devices.

So if I shoot through the pocket of my jacket without drawing the gun out first I would also be in violation!

You can never have enough horsepower or ammunition.

I'm all for the pull the gun just slightly out of the holster and let rip, if the situaion ever arose. I just have a cloth lined Blackhawk pocket and in a pitch that would work fine for me.
