I am not a lawyer, and I cannot provide legal advice. In my understanding concealment as it applies here means hidden from view. Talking about it doesn't visually expose the weapon and so doesn't compromise the concealment requirement.

What about this scenario?

In a gun shop Joe Counterman says, "So do you have your CHL?"
I answer, "No, but I always carry my pistol in my pocket."
Joe Counterman asks, "What do you carry?"
I answer, "I carry a K-TEC in my right pocket."

An LEO is standing near by and hears the conversation.
Does he have probable cause to search and arrest me?
