Re: open carry bill filed
My CHL instructor told our entire class that you can be arrested for printing. A friend of mine was picked up by two policemen and taken outside of a waffle house for printing even though there was no 30.06 sign. The law is pretty clear that it only applies to intentional failure to conceal but police and CHL instructors alike still spread this myth of unintentional failure to conceal.

Its either Conceal all the way or not at all. There are still penalties for intentionally failing to conceal if you are not open carrying.anygunanywhere wrote:Unintended "mishaps" are not illegal so legislation to OC will not have any impact on this.AggieMike wrote:Good to see it, although I would still conceal...... it would be nice in order to cover mishaps of uncovering.
