Get a leg holster, or freeze. IMO. Thats what I do, I can not wear a shoulder holster because it will just cover the gun, which is illgeal I do not have a permit. and +1 to skidmark "Now, taking off the jacket converts you from CC to OC. Again presuming that the place you chose for dining is not posted, what's the problem?" in FL it is illgeal to print or OC, here its not. But you can not CC without a CHP. It would be illgeal for person A to CC without a permit, a gun in a shoulder holster into a store/food place, then remove it to OC. He was CCing into the place which was illgeal act. But if person A holds a valid CHP he may CC then remove his coat to OC.
