restrictions on open carry

**poorman** · May 17th, 2007, 01:42 PM

i asked this question in another thread, but i think it will get more attention in its own thread. are there certain ways one must carry open, for instance, does it have to be on your waist in a duty holster, or can it be in a shoulder holster without a shirt over it (or would your arm be considered concealing it?) or what about a drop-leg....this one is just to know...im not gonna wear a drop leg when open carrying.

also do you think i could wear a bianci m12 for open carry until i get different one?

If you have your LTCF your good no matter what, if you dont. Then I would go with a hip holster OWB. That way no officer can say you were "attempting to conceal" or anything like that.

EDIT: The Bianchi would work just fine

Very simple. Don't cover/conceal it. Ta-Da! Open Carry!
The only regulation is that there's no regulation against it.

Everything else is pretty much just personal interpretation, so if you're willing to give it a try, go for it. Good luck and be safe.

As you're not old enough to carry concealed,(right?) I'm thinking that you may end up with more interesting OC stories than Skuggi!

i said i was only 19 in the thread "sheriff said it was illegal" .

hmm...good to know that the bianci will work. i dont know if i wanna try the shoulder holster becuase i dont want to ruin my chances of being in LE just because of something stupid.

haha emptymag, i bet my friend and i will.
