OK I just thought it odd that a back pack is restricted to specific LEO/Military buyers.... :)

It's got special supersecret assault pockets. :whatever:

[Richard Simmons]

I presume it's because you can use it to conceal a firearm. Wonder if they do the same with anything that has a pocket in it?

[Helen Keller]

My mom's purse can do the same thing....... :laugh::laugh::laugh:

Watch what you post on the net, without the proper letterhead on that purse your mom might just get a visit from the alphabet guys now... :)

[nfa1934]

Probably opens more than one pocket with a single pull of the zipper.

[AKTexas]

Is it an NFA item?

[Infidelski]

Of course its restricted... its an Urban Assault Concealment Pack!!!

IMHO you can get alot more pack for less from a company like Kelty but then again I'm not an operator so I really wouldn't know anything about urban assault, OMEGA Water Beasts, Dynamic Suspension NOR the uber tactical features of Hook-and-loop strap management system...

Assuming it's his mom that's using it.

It's restricted because if you put one of those X-ray proof Glocks in it's special pocket, it becomes total invisible to X-ray scan, nude scans, gropes, sniffers, dogs, and any device not yet thought of as a way to molest honest Americans!

[nfa1934]

Is that a special blend-in-to-everything red and black pattern? Maybe it makes you look like one of those urban backpacker douchebags who wear hiking gear on the metro.

[alismith]

It's an advertising gimmick.

6 months from now, they'll be saying that the "once restricted, military/LEO only" backpack has just been released to the civilian market for a limited time only. However, due to the short supply, the cost will be $299 plus S&H. Get yours before they are gone. Once they're gone; they're gone forever.

My backpacks suit me just fine and cost alot less than $159.

[davepool]

" Urban Assault Concealment Pack", that alone is worth the extra 100 bucks they're charging.....P.T.Barnum was right.

Does it come with a "North Face" jacket ???????

Unfucking believeable......:thud:

Retailers are MORONS. I can't count the internet retailers who won't ship a scope mount to California because 'their legal department told them it was illegal'. If I were them, I'd FIRE MY LAWYERS and get new ones who know their ass from a hole in the ground. I had a recent spat with one who won't ship a Ruger 10/22 barrel to me because "I live in California". Nice, but there is no rule against shipping a 10/22 barrel to CA, doesn't make it either an SBR, an NFA item or even a California only AW! Dorks. :mad:

[Mark Ducati]

What seems stupid to me, is that they restrict sales to Military and LEO.... yet there is no law to prevent any civilian from owning one. AND, once sold to said Military/LEO, what's to prevent a soldier with a DD214 to use it or sell it once out of the military for personal civilian use, or Barney to buy a few and sell them en Fleabay?

$159 is pretty steep anyways for a back pack. The heck with them, they're not that cool. And if I was in the market for a back pack (other than a camping/hiking pack), I'd be buying one with some Molle Webbing on it.

[TEN-32]

Its not tactical. If it was it would say Under Armor.:laugh:

[AK-J]

Words can't describe how galacticly stupid it is.

I did a little checking and found other retailers that sell the same product. Every last one of them require LEO or military to purchase. This leads me to believe that it is Camelbak's Politically Correct bullshit that forces the retailers place the restrictions on who they sell to.

It's the (specifically designed) hidden handgun compartments. That's what the lawyers are looking at. My Lawyer (for kicks) took a look at the product and HE zeroed in on the liability of selling a 'camouflaged firearm container' which is actually regulated in California (i.e. something that can hold a firearm for quick retrieval but that a regular person would Not suspect has one). Since you can pull a pistol from a hidden compartment without OPENING the backpack (actually three different ways according to the product literature), it's the LIABILITY that the lawyers are looking at. All you need is to have one douchebag use the product to get the drop on a cop and the MEDIA will be screaming about "How is this sold to the public?" BS.

Don't feel bad... idiot retailers do that for New York too. As you (may) know, NY still has a state version of the Clinton AWB which means we can't legally buy post-1994 full-cap magazines, but pre-ban (pre 9/94) ARE legal. However, many retailers will not sell even beat up, 20 year old COM-BLOC AK mags to NY because they're "high capacity". Nevermind that they were probably made in 1970 and are 100% legal... they won't sell anyway.

Not only does the stupid law restrict me, but then the retailers restrict me FURTHER with their ignorance. Ugh.

Thank goodness for Gunbroker...

Kinda like Ranger ammo....

Isn't that the definition of "concealed carry"?

Amazon sells them... with no restrictions....... http://www.amazon.com/Camelbak-Urban-Assault-Military-Hydration/dp/B002Q1GDC0

Actually they're talking about things which are DESIGNED to look like something you don't expect a firearm to be whipped out of. I vaguely remember back in the 1980s there was a WALKMAN (fake) which was a pop open container for a pocket pistol (which sounds like a plot from an assassintation movie! LOL :D) CA did outlaw those briefcases which can FIRE MAC-10s or MP5Ks by pressing a button on the handle. (Sure NFA guys can get them, but they could also be used for over the counter handguns). That kind of stuff. NOT Concealed Carry.

I guess that my diaper bag should be for LEO use only too.

That rear-most zipper is a CCW pocket. I keep my 1911 in there.
Its completely velcro lined and the holster just sticks there with a extra mag holder too.

That's not the same one. The "Urban Assault Concealed" has the pockets designed to conceal pistols, the "Urban Assault" is the normal one w/o them.
