So, if it was in my backpack, with a clip in it, but I had the factory lock engaged, I would be ok?

Oh, going camping up in Empire CO


nothing personal, but not having easy accessability defeats the purpose of carrying a firearm. open carry is the way to go until you receive your CCW. i don't think a mountain lion is going to wait for you to go into your backpack, nor the 2 legged predators either.
