Do mag holders on your belt need to be concealed?

**Vikingblood** · December 30th, 2009, 08:44 PM

I was wondering if I need to have my ammo concealed i was unable to find anything about having it to be concealed. I just bought a 2 mag holder and was wondering if I can just have it on my belt without the need to conceal it.

Thanks

You don't need to 'conceal' your weapon, why would you think mags would need to be concealed?

Thanks I did think about it but I thought it maybe under the law as inflicting fear in the mind of others or something. thanks for the clearing up

Viking, i see your right up the road from me. no you don't need to worry about concealing your mags, myself and other have broken in the local LEOs to Open Carry over the last few years and they know the laws. Open Carry is legal and there is no "inflicting fear" law that can be tied to mere Open carry

That's what we do around here (well at least try) ... oh and welcome! Think I will continue one of Headcase's traditions so you get my 'rep a newbie' rep for the week.

If the pistol is not concealed, why conceal the ammo? And if you're not concealing the ammo, why conceal the pistol?

Seems to me that if you're carrying concealed, you'd want ot hide the ammo too otherwise it would be assumed that you're packing.

Though...can you carry pepper spray and/or mace on your person in PA? I would think that if a LEO saw the ammo pack on your hip and no pistol they might think you've got pepper spray/mace on you and stop you for that (if its not legal).
