If you are wearing spandex and it shows the exact outline of the weapon, I would say it is a crime. The reason I say this is that I cannot find a definition of conceal in the law (just a quick search so far0, so we have to use the common meaning. One dictionary i looked at defined it this way:

So if the wind blows your shirt up you would consider that intentionally failing to conceal? I give up.

Unless you're Marilyn Monroe, being exposed by the wind is not intentional, but it is a failure to conceal.

If someone saw your gun when you sat in an open back chair, think about how you can conceal better. If you flash your gun and have to adjust your clothes when you get out of your truck, think about how you can conceal better. If you print so bad a casual observer can guess you carry a gun, think about how you can conceal better. It's not required by the law, but it's smart to avoid recklessly or knowingly failing to conceal.

"It's not required by the law,"

Actually, it IS required by law but your point is well taken. If you read my earlier post I had asked for advice on a different rig. Perhaps a smaller gun / different holster.

PM9 in a mini super tuck will take care of that issue for you.
