In the CCW laws it states:

Concealed Handgun:

"...means a hangun, the presence of which is not openly discernable to the ordinary observation of a reasonable person."

I think the black pouch shown above would be just fine.

I don't see a thing wrong with this (longwatch's) option in Texas. It's not much different than a fanny pack and the fanny pack is a very common method of CC in Texas. My wife and I both just moved to AZ from Texas where we have CC for years. My wife always (and still does) carry a CC pursespecially made for the purpose. But when she doesn't want to mess with the purse she carries a CC fanny pack. It is specifically designed for CC and has rapid access and a secure holster inside. We came from the Texas Gulf Coast where in the summer its too hot and humid to wear a lot of clothes. Its pretty hard to CC with shorts or swim trunks, sandals and a light T-shirt. The fanny pack is perfect. You can stick other stuff in it too - keys, cigs, an extra mag. etc. If anyone is interested I can post a pic.

Now in Arizona - its not a problem any longer for men or women.Open carry is the way to go.

A license holder commits an offense if the license holder carries a handgun on or about the license holder's person under the authority of Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, and intentionally fails to conceal the handgun.

I guess by that they meant any act where you intentionally fail to conceal the fact that you are carrying ahandgun is an offense. Carrying it in a holster where the handgun itself is hidden from view would not conceal the fact that you are carrying a handgun.

OTOH, the fanny packdoes not obviously contain a handgun.

It appears to me that a defense against a charge that one failed to conceal the handgun would ultimately depend on what the law defines concealed to mean.

I am not sure that not being able to see the handgun itself necessarily means the handgun is concealed.

But, IANAL.

What about something like a pagerpal? Do any of you Texans have any experience carrying in one of these? Do LEOs consider that concealed?
