Hands-free multi-use long gun carry pack and related methods

摘要

In general, disclosed is a multi-use and gun-protective apparatus for secure and hands-free carrying of a long gun in close proximity (in time, distance, and procedure) to a gunman carrier's gun firing position. Basically, in one embodiment, the apparatus is a reversible, open-ended, and chest-mounted bi-fold pouch configured to fold around at least part of the receiver portions (the portions of the rifle that contains the operating parts, e.g., bolt carrying group, trigger group, or magazine port) of a long gun). In operation, a long gun may be provided to the pouch so that the gun is transversely oriented with respect to torso of the gun carrier whereby the barrel of the long gun extends out of one end of the pouch while the stock of the long gun extends out of the other end of the pouch. When gun firing or deployment is necessary, the gun is located on the chest of carrier so that the barrel or stock of the gun may be gripped while the pouch is concurrently unfolded to result in the carried gun falling from the pouch into the carrier's gun firing position.
