There's a few threads on this subject somewhere around here if you search, but the bottom line is that the issue comes down to "intent".

"Unintentional" exposure is not unlawful.

However...

WHO determines intent? You? A citizen who freaks out because they see an exposed firearm and calls the cops? The LEO who shows up and questions you about the event? Or the court when you are forced to prove that the act was indeed "unintentional"?

While we are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, that doesn't mean we can't face charges due to circumstances that may be beyond our control.

Keep it concealed, and if for some reason you find your firearm exposed, simply cover it up and go about your business. Most people won't notice anyway.
