AOW question

[Notavictim646]

I have an elderly friend that says "back in the day" he used to carry a hammerless j-frame in a sock. Would that be considered an AOW today since it can be fired from within the sock but does not appear to to be a gun?

don't think it's much different than shooting from a coat pocket.

In a word, no.

OK, the reason I brought it up is, I've seen some discussion here (on INGO) about a wallet holster with a hole in it that allows the gun to be fired from within being an AOW. That made me think of the sock. What exactly is the story on the wallet holsters? How is it different?

Not a pro here,but I believe that it's different because the holster is an accessory and not a gun itself.Now if there were a gun built into a wallet,I think it would be an AOW.

If the wallet has to be opened to fire the gun then it is just a holster. If you fire it from the wallet. It's a issue as I understand things. As for the sock. It's met to hold a foot. Not a gun.

Then why can you buy gun socks?

As long as it isn't made to not look like a gun,I believe you're good.
