Just got my first carry pistol. Getting my CCW soon but curious about this now.

What’s your opinion on how this person is carrying it? Open or Concealed?

I consider it open it you can see the gun. Concealed is when no one knows you are carrying.

Technically they can "know" and even "see" as far as imprint. Difference is it's covered.

Can you see it? Then it’s open. Doesn’t matter if it’s inside or outside the waistband.

Unless dude is wearing a vest or jacket it is absolutely open carry.

True. I know I look to see as far as an imprint.

^^^This. I usually wear my tuckable IWB holsters like this, but w/ a cover garment of some sort, e.g. a long shirt, sweater, jacket or vest. If not reasoably covered up I'd view it as open carry.

If you have your concealed carry and you're being respectful to the LEO then you're gold.

If you don't have a concealed carry and you're being a jerk to the LEO then you're getting run in.

drop your arms and unconsciously "conceal" gun some more and you could have very subjective trouble.

quote:

What holster method should I use for open carry?
That is a personal preference. However be advised that if you do not have a concealed carry permit you are at an increased risk of a criminal charge if your carry method can be construed as having been intended to conceal or obscure your weapon. It is often suggested that a quality retention style holster be used whenever possible when Open Carrying.

For informational purposes:

Concealed Handgun?any handgun as defined in R.S. 40:1379.3(J)(1), which is carried on a person in such a manner as to hide or obscure the handgun from plain view.

A. Illegal carrying of weapons is: (1) The intentional concealment of any firearm, or other instrumentality customarily used or intended for probable use as a dangerous weapon, on one's person;


The use of a proper holster does not constitute "intentional concealment" because not doing saw would be considered negligent

quote:
