"As long as the handgun is holstered I can't see how IWB or OWB makes a difference."Kadelic wrote:I have been curious of other opinions on this and I'm thankful for this discussion. In my non-professional and obviously untested opinion this is a non-issue. I have already considered using my normal CC IWB holsters but not having to worry about maintaining concealment at all times. Not that I would intentionally reveal, but there have been times I've accidentally revealed and got really nervous until I realized nobody was the wiser. For most intents and purposes I will continue to carry concealed. I have purchased a new OWB holster specifically for OC, but will probably not use it very often, at least not until the newness of OC wears off quite a bit. One scenario I can see where I end up OC'ing with an IWB holster is when I'm using a jacket as concealment but want to remove it for whatever reason, like being seated at a restaurant. As long as the handgun is holstered I can't see how IWB or OWB makes a difference.
I have, in an other state, been asked why I was not using a holster when I was carrying in IWB. This possible confusion makes me think that the risk of the uninitiated or the antis calling 911 to report MWAG carrying with the pistol stuck in the waistband is too high for me. Your risk analysis may vary.
I know that in my town IWB will be OK. I'll continue to conceal IWB at work in Austin. After work, I'll tuck my shirt behind the pistol for the drive home. I don't usually stop until I get back to my city.
Happy New Year!
