I was reading on another forum reviewing different holsters and a poster wrote that he had broken the plastic/polycarbonate paddle that attached his holster to his hip. He explained that the holstered firearm snaged the arm of a chair as he sat down and snapped the paddle of his holster. This got me thinking and the following scenario and questions popped into my head:
Say this scenario happens while one is OCing and dining at a restaurant. This OCer either does not have CPL or does not have it on their person at the time. What would one do with their firearm now that it can no longer be attached to their body? Is it legit to just hand carry the holstered firearm in this situation? If one has a backpack would it be considered concealed carry to unload the firearm and stow in the backpack until the person arrives home to either secure the firearm or replace the holster?
Other than not buying a crappy paddle/holster how would those on this forum deal with this situation should it arise?
