I understand that most people aren't using that style of holster for Open Carry but, I could see someone conceal carrying then removing their concealment garment so that the person is now open carrying in a holster not attached to belt so in violation of the law.

Thoughts?
As I understand them Sticky and Remora holsters are for pocket carry and are not suitable for open carry.
IANAL, but IMO if you concealed carried using one of these holsters and then removed your concealment garment you would be in violation of the law.
If a person wants to open carry, they need to purchase and wear the correct type of holster.

Actually, they are designed to either be used in a pocket or IWB. It's the pressure and friction of the belt, pants and body that holds it in place.

I wasn't aware that they had so many holster options. Thanks for pointing that out to me.
Personally, I would not wear an IWB or OWB holster that relies solely on pressure and friction to hold it in place.
