Why? Based on your story, you weren't printing.

Yes, thank you. The topic however is: Printing the same as Failure To Conceal

I was only joking with the cliché. Since my run in with the law I have changed my belt and holster.

Thanks to the tips on this forum I am no longer paranoid about being tossed in jail. My Glock has the proper cant with two clips on the holster so it does not change.

It's tucked in as deep as it can be while still being able to draw it. I added a Mag holder at 5 O’clock, thanks to AR's tip. It can be exposed with out worry.

I don't remember that being discussed in the CHL classes.

Thanks,

This thread is pouring salt on a wound Saltydog.

Printing is not the same as Intentional failure to conceal. Printing is not illegal however if you the printing is bad enough that your gun is discernible to the ordinary observation of a reasonable person you are at risk or being arrested. If someone identifies your gun, even with printing and they run out the door in fear for their life you could be charged with disturbing the peace. If the LEO really wants to stick it to you he may throw in an intentional failure to conceal charge. It won’t stick but you will still go for a ride.
