In early 2018 Scott Myers & Scott Levin responded to one of the nation's worst school shootings. Myers  was one of the first officers on scene.  He had to make a split second decision of whether to get his SWAT rifle out of the hard case in his trunk, or take on the shooter (who was armed with an AR-15) with his handgun.  Recognizing that every second mattered, he decided to forego his rifle and went into the school without it. 

Ever since that tragic day, the decision he was forced to make has weighed heavily on him.  Bringing only a handgun to a gun fight is not nearly as good as bringing both a rifle and a handgun. 

There had to be a better way.  He believed a portable AR-15 security/retention system could be designed that would allow officers to have rapid access to their rifle yet strong enough to keep it from being stolen when a permanently installed system is not appropriate (unmarked cars, rentals, leases, pool vehicles, personal vehicles, etc).  He sketched out a few ideas and then met up with his co-worker (and future business partner), Scott Levin.
