If you want to conceal really well, consider an IWB, or at least a pancake style OWB.

Serious question: Is "knowingly" wearing something that "prints" tantamount to intentionally failing to conceal your gun?
Now who's gonna prove that you're knowingly printing?

A lawyer. :smile:

As with all things, it could be argued that a person of average intelligence, (and otherwise prudent and reasonable) "should" have known that a "tight" thin white t-shirt would not adequately "conceal" his full size 1911 in an OWB (hypothetical). "Covered" doesn't always mean "concealed", but if anyone wants to be the test case, go ahead.

I think it would be unwise at best...to become too lax concerning proper concealment.

Just another reason I'd like to see the option to OC.
