I have no problem with testing the law. I carried with just a shirt over my firearm last Tuesday in an area frequented by police and my shirt did blow open. One of the people with me was disgusted and said so, and the rest just shrugged.
But this is the last step I would think, not the first.
How about designing some common situations and requesting the AG's opinion on them?

From another thread. Thank you Rich7553 for the inspiration:

Jojo712 asks:
So who would volunteer to be our test case?
The pre-requisites are:
1. You don't care too much about your firearms license being in jeopardy for a little while (6 months, max)
2. You've got a gun that you wouldn't mind having in evidence for a bit while the case is ventilated
3. You've got a shirt that rides a little too high when you sit down and exposes your holster and a tiny piece of your gun while you sit
4. You've got a nearby Dunkin' Donuts and a friend across the street with a camera, recording (not for legal purposes, but for leverage purposes)
5. You walk in, plop down, as your shirt rides up order a donut, say hi to the officers and smile: "Good evenin' ladies an' gentlemen. How 'bout those Miami Heat?"
This can go a thousand ways, and all will go viral immediately. Test cases, anyone? I think this should be a thread of its own.
