This was asked on the RTKBA forum and I thought I'd tap into the brain trust here and see what you're thoughts are on it.
Our CPL is for concealed only. That means it has to be out of sight all the time for us to be protected by the law of our CPL. Concealed means concealed.
If I went to a OC picnic and I was wearing an IWB holster with no cover shirt then by the definition of the law I would not be open carrying because my gun would be half concealed in my waistband. In order to OC the gun must be out in the open, in full view in a OWB holster. In this scenario the OC law does not legally cover me and neither does my CPL because the gun is only half concealed.
IF a police officer wanted to get technical, he could in fact arrest me for brandishing because no law protects me in this case. It is a grey area.
This is not someone who is being critical of OC. They are relatively new to it and are hashing out questions they have.
