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!
