Gentlemen,
I would like to send a sincere thank youfor all the time and hard work that has been put into this site. It is a vast store of knowledge and a good natured site to help wade through the tough and sometimes unintellegable language of law.
My question derives from my biggest fear. Although after sifting through some of the wonderful information on this site I am beginning to think that it is unbased fear.
I carry a full size 5" inch 1911. I train hard with this sidearm and have learned a great confidence and respect for it. However the one area this gun fails me is a easy concealed carry during those hot summer months. In the summer I most often just wear a T-shirt and shorts. I keep a tight belt on and have a leather holster that offers three positions. I most often keep it in the FBI Cant posistion as I find this to leave the smallest profile and it is easily accessable. I train with this holster and this position. However some shirts cover the pistol and holster proficently and others don't. I often find myself having to wear a shirt too big in order to accomidate my sidearm. This used to bother me because I was told by a friend who recieved his Act-235. That there was no OC in PA unless you were law enforcement. I have written to my County Shariffs office and received no replys. So when does concealed carry become open carry? If 90% of the gun and holster are covered and just the last half inch or so of the holster stick out of the bottum of my shirt is that considered OC? I posess a valid and current CCW so in any event I should be covered. Any thoughts? Again I want to thank the staff and all those involved with this site.
