SO MANY RULES AND INTERPRETATIONS! Sometimes my head hurts

IMHO...asking what you carry is different than asking if you are carrying!

My experience working in a gun store (in New Mexico, where OC is legal for anyone and CC requires a license), asking someone what they carry usually prompted them to show it.

I'd say telling somone in conversation is absolutely not a failure to conceal.
I know some on this forum will disagree with that position though. My opinion is worth what you paid for it.

There was a young sheriff's deputy who was a regular at the gun store where I worked. When off duty, he'd come in carrying a 1911 under a white T-shirt so tight you could almost make out the Wilson logo on the grip. This was New Mexico. I wondered at the time if that would be intentional failure to conceal in Texas. There was no doubt in anyone's mind he was carrying a gun. Gun people could tell you it was a full-size 1911.
