So, a friend of my dad's asked me about some open carry questions today, and he asked me one that kind of stumped me...
He bought an old Greyhound bus, and converted it into a camper/RV. His question was how can he open carry in his RV while driving. From what I understand, and please correct me if I'm wrong, in order for OC in a car to be considered open, it has to be visible without obstruction from a point outside the vehicle. With a bus, how exactly would this be possible? Would he be in the right to just keep it on his hip since more than likely in a LEO encounter, he would actually be leaving the bus? Or would he be better off to mount a holster on the dash and place it there while he's driving?
I don't believe he has his CCW permit, but I'm in the process of double checking to find out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
