A coat shifting while seated is not intentional. You are intentionally transferring your gun from one location to another. If you can do so and totally conceal it, then you are fine. However, you will be in a gray area if you do not make a good enough effort to conceal it and someone does see it. Best bet is to do as others have said, step into a stall, transfer it to an enclosed pack, then transfer the pack to the locker. Reverse the process when putting the gun back on.NorthDallas7 wrote:I appreciate your response and concern and I will certainly change how I deal with this.C-dub wrote:The person with the coat was unintentional. Your action, while not malicious, is intentional. If someone sees you they could call the police and you could be arrested and it would be legitimate. Unless you change your tactic, you run this risk. Be careful.
But how is my act any different from the guy with the coat? I fully INTENDED to conceal as he did, and the handgun was exposed UNINTENTIONALLY, like his was. In fact, one could argue mine is less serious because the time to place it in the locker is literally seconds compared to minutes , perhaps several minutes , of unintentional exposure with the guy with the coat.
I don't mean to say you are wrong, I just would like if you could explain how mine is INTENTIONAL and his wasn't.
Here is what another person says on another forum on this subject:
"An accidental or inadvertent exposure is not unlawful. Relax"
Again, not saying you are wrong, just looking for clarification. Thanks.
