I got into a discussion with a capt in our agency on this well the concealed part, a zip up pistol case/rug in a vehicle's seat in open view, he said illegal as showing a handgun present I asked him to open it nope no G32 but a Butterfinger bar, no firearm, he was not impressed, well illegal he did say no then yet it was prior...… We returned to our briefing I still had zipper case, just got a strange look and not discussed anymore at all.

So was a zipped up case illegal to you???????
Nope.

If you use his logic, my entire wardrobe (except for underwear/socks) would be considered illegal as it always conceals a firearm. :shock:
I think the "logic" is that anything which could possibly conceal a firearm must always be assumed to be carrying a firearm for purposes of applying the law. By that "logic" everyone is always carrying a concealed firearm (unless they are naked), and we should just issue citations to every single person in a 30.06 posted location.

I'm using the word "logic" very loosely here.

So he thinks that having any case large enough to hold a pistol makes the pistol not concealed? IANAL, but that's not how I read the law. Better not carry a purse around this guy.
