Oops - I think CHL should be required for OC as opposed to no license.

Neither printing nor unintentional faillure to conceal are offenses under state law. How can they be a problem if they are not illegal?

You reckon that the problem might lie in convincing the LEO AND the judge that the exposures weren't intentional?

You reckon that I am not all that concerned with printing and unintentional falure to conceal because I check to make certain I am concealed and I am aware of my cover garments when I carry?

If spmeone is falsely arrested then there is a way to adress that issue.

Good question.

The closest I can approach to answering this is that if unlicensed OC is the law, why would an LEO randomlly stop you to check for an ID if you are not breaking the law? If unlicensed OC is not breaking the law, would not asking for ID because you are OCing be a violation of the fourth amendment?

I used totravel in West Virginia quite often, Since WV did not honor any of my carry licenses, I had to OC. The first time I traveled to WV, I was in the Caharleston airport. I picked up my luggage which contained my handguns. I was traveling to Kentucky, which did homor my carry license. I asked the LEO to verify that it was OK to OC. He confirmed that it was legal.

I carried my bags to the rental car, unpacked my handgun, loaded it, put my OWB holster on and put my handgun in the holster, all in plain view. As I was entering my car the LEO walked by wished me well and bade me a nice visit.

I am certain that some LEO somewhere will do as you describe, but since I am not a felon, I will not worry about it. I will deal with the situation if it ever happens.

What would you do??

Unlicensed, definitely.

Good point C-dub.
