Neat, but sounds like bad legal advice. Last time I looked it up, it said something like "possessing a firearm on or about one's person"... so it doesn't matter if it's attached to your dog or pulled behind you on a skateboard or held in mid-air using some kind of hovering drone... if it is near you and under your control, you have it.
IMO, the interesting case would be if the weapon is stored in your home (where nobody questions it may be), and you can summon it.
Also worth noting it's extremely dangerous to do with an untrained dog. All it takes is and enthusiastic "come here!" or a treat or something and now another person has access to your firearm while you don't have anything.
I do find the mental image of a panicked boogaloo begging his holster dog to recall as it chases squirrels. One less bigot, plus you go home with a free dog and gun!
... This is so stupid it hurts my brain.
I actually tried to find laws relating to... stowing? carrying? transporting? a gun, in a holster, on a harness, on a dog.
I could not find any.
I very much hope this is completely legally dubious, but given the patchwork insanity of US gun laws... there might concievably be some kind of very specific situation where this would 'work' in some kind of legal sense...
Still falls under your control in that instance, unless you've got someone else summoning it for you (we don't need to talk about how, just assume it's a drone and not magic) at which point we're talking about a conspiracy.
I was going to make a joke about that meaning having a set of car keys on your person would be driving, but then I remembered that people HAVE been arrested for drunk driving a parked car, simply because they were sitting in that car with the keys on their person. Our legal system...
I think that's a bit different from setting up a drone to bring you a gun, personally.
Maybe using a drone? Idk
I usually use a summoning circle drawn using the blood of carrier pigeons.
I stick my hand out and wait momentarily. Works for my hammer.
