Re: If Const. Carry passes, a signage question

I get it now. Thank you. I can be a bit thick when it comes to the finer technicalities of the laws.

Either you have a license or you don't and either you can see the handgun or you can't. If you can see the handgun it is being openly carried, if you can't see the handgun, it is concealed.

Per my reading of the HB 1927, open carry applies to both licensed and unlicensed individuals with the addition of 46.02 (a-5)
HB 1927 - 46.02 (a-5) wrote:A person commits an offense if the person carries a handgun and intentionally displays the handgun in plain view of another person in a public place. It is an exception to the application of this subsection that the handgun was partially or wholly visible but was carried in a holster.
In other words, holstered handguns are OK. Un-holstered in public is an offense.
I'm sorry. I was not real clear with my question. I was referring to what would be the rule if constitutional carry is passed. I am thinking a person open carrying with no LTC would be breaking the constitutional carry provision by having a jacket on that is covering his firearm.
