I believe your instructor to be incorrect in that statement. A great recent example is the empty holster protest that was perfectly legal.

There is no law against wearing leather or kydex on your belt for all the world to see. That doesn't mean it is a good idea (personal opinions vary on this), just that it isn't illegal.

Sorry for the diversion, but...


She okay?

Legally - with you standing just like that - I say yes. That COULD be a cell phone case, I see nothing to indicate it is a firearm.

Now as soon as you raise your arm, I bet my opinion would change to "not concealed". Either way, that is too close for my comfort and I wouldn't advise it.
