When is it not CC?
This is in relation to HB1845 going into effect, namely it's stipulation that to carry a firearm in a State Park, you must have a LTCF and it must be concealed.
Im looking for some form of legal guideline that determines when a firearm becomes 'exposed'.
The reason being is that I am both a 24/7 OCer, and avid hiking enthusiast, and I like to go to the local trails at French Creek State Park. I forsee an encounter between myself an a restrictive DCNR officer, and I would like some form of official definition to quote to defend myself with.
So far the best I have is a dictionary definition;
con⋅ceal
/kənˈsil/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [kuhn-seel] –verb (used with object)
1. to hide; withdraw or remove from observation; cover or keep from sight.
From that, I would say that the gun simply must be physically obscured. Hence, I could make an OWB holster cover out of some thin silnylon, similar to a ruck dust cover, and be 100% legal.
