Absolutely. Open carry will excuse complete concealment, as long as it is in a shoulder or belt holster. If you're using a Flashbang, ankle, etc, then that will not suffice.Lauren3323 wrote:Sorry if this is the wrong place to post, I couldn't find a more specific open carry discussion and I'm not very familiar with the search boolean operators. I'm wondering if on 1 Jan 16 when open carry becomes legal if that means I can be a little more "lax" with my concealment. I don't plan to carry openly often if at all, but as a female concealment is sometimes difficult due to the fit of my clothing. Will open carry excuse complete concealment? Meaning will it be ok if the gun is printing or if I need to adjust to a more comfortable position thus briefly exposing the gun? I would like to wear jeans with a t-shirt covering the gun but I'm very skinny so this doesn't work very well under the current concealment requirements. Does it either have to be completely open or completely concealed or will something halfway be excusable when open carry starts? Thanks in advance!
And...printing is not a problem, even now. The average person does not know what that bulge is on your side at three o'clock. If they do comment on it, tell them, "it's personal,", and watch how quickly they drop the subject. Or tell them it is a medical device (and you'll get the same result). Or, my favorite...I tell them that it's my Emergency Ventilator. (No, I don't use that one often, but have, on occasion.)
I suggest you check out the http://www.youtube.com/user/faliaphotography Youtube Channel. She seems to have a lot of ideas for concealment for a lady.
