Embalmo -- I think you are confusing yourself with your non-standard use of the English language. You simply CANNOT verbally (or orally) "show" something.Embalmo wrote:I'm using the phrase "Verbally show" to mean verbally indicating one's carry status as armed; to tell someone that there is a gun in your pocket. To raise ones shirt to reveal the gun shaped bulge in one's bicycle shorts would be to physically show.
I agree that it doesn't say anything in the book about telling someone in friendly conversation that you're armed (where others may hear you), but I do think that it's a little gray when you consider that bicycle pants and loose lips yield the same results; that you gotta' gun in your pants. And you've also, naturally, got to be careful in places where LEOs and shopkeepers may not get the concept of non-compliant signs.

And as somebody else pointed out, that isn't what the law talks about anyway. The law says:
You "observe" stuff with your eyes, not your ears. The law does not say "...presence of which is not detectible by a reasonable person". That would include detection by any means."Concealed handgun" means a handgun, the presence of which is not openly discernible to the ordinary observation of a reasonable person.
