I am curious about printing while carrying concealed. I try to keep my weapon well concealed at all times, but sometimes I do noticably print. It may not be obvious to someone not looking for my weapon, but I know I can see it and other CCW holder can probably tell as well. Am I breaking the rules if my state does not have an open carry policy? Additionally, what if the tip of the barrel or holster is ocasionally visible from under a coat?? Thanks |
| He's right, that is a better place for it. BUT to answer your question. 99.9% of sheeple out there won't notice that your printing, and the ones that do, will have NO CLUE what it is 99.9% of the time. As for the legality, that varies state to state but would take an extreme case to have your CCL yanked or be prosecuted, I've never heard of it. And with all the BS you hear on the net, you'd think you would hear about it. |

I don't know if any cases have come up on this, but from looking at the law in Fla., it seems to me that if a non-CHL holder carrying in the same way would be subject to prosecution for CCF, then a CHL holder is carrying lawfully. Think about it: if the shape of a 1911 on a belt holster showed clearly through a skintight white T-shirt on a non-CHL, he would be booked for CCF. If it's concealed, it's concealed. YMMV. To me, the interesting question is whether a CHL holder can carry in a completely enclosed flap holster outside his clothing. There are holsters (like the WWII canvas Webley holsters) that leave no part of the weapon exposed. Hmmmmm. |
