kyle50cal Posted November 3, 2016 at 04:14 PM Posted November 3, 2016 at 04:14 PM Webster's definition of conceal is to hide or keep secret. The military does not even use holsters like that anymore. Might as well carry a pistol unloaded and in a case then in an older military style pistol holder.
Joe Six Gun Posted November 4, 2016 at 01:03 AM Author Posted November 4, 2016 at 01:03 AM The photo is the same holster I have. From reading the law it appears to be legal. I was wondering if this issue has came up before because it would be a lot easier/more comfortable for me to carry a mid size gun in the summer. I haven't tried it yet but was wondering if I could use it next year. With cooler weather getting here I have a shoulder rig for my Glock 22 which is well hidden under a jacket. What is a gold SP? Not sure I understand that reference.

Glock23 Posted November 4, 2016 at 03:07 PM Posted November 4, 2016 at 03:07 PM What is a gold SP? Not sure I understand that reference. "SP" stands for Sneaky Pete, aka Sneaky Pete Holsters.
Xwing Posted November 4, 2016 at 03:17 PM Posted November 4, 2016 at 03:17 PM It sounds like the consensus is "don't try it". There is certainly some "gray area" in the law. But if you push the limits, there is a good chance you will end up with a very expensive court battle which you may or may not win. Personally, I wouldn't like to take that risk, but others may. There are other options available which are known fully legal, and are a better choice than the "roll of the dice"... But always a good question to bring up...

Kinda' like Homer Simpson coming out of the witness relocation program wearing a red "WRP" baseball cap and an "Witness Relocation Program" t-shirt...

I wore a SP with my Wather 380 all summer and not one person said anything about it.

WARFACE Posted November 4, 2016 at 10:49 PM Posted November 4, 2016 at 10:49 PM I wore my shirt hooked over my gun into Miejers today and was well into the store before I noticed and covered up. No SWAT teams showed up to kill me so I think an SP wouldn't arouse any suspicion. Most people don't notice or give a rats butt anyway.
VannDaddy Posted November 4, 2016 at 11:10 PM Posted November 4, 2016 at 11:10 PM It's the difference between the letter of the law and the spirit of the law. The spirit of the law is to hide from the general public the fact that you're armed. A Sneaky Pete does that.The farther your actions are from the spirit of the law the more likely it is you'll have to argue the letter of the law. Some people are more willing to do that than others.What was the spirit of the SBR law? It seemed to me that the spirit was to allow reenacters to have accurate weapons, but there are people here who use the letter of the law to legally own SBRs, even though they do not participate in reenactments. Now tell me about the difference between the spirit of the law and the letter of the law.

That's exactly what the law said and what it meant, right up until the legislation that changed it took effect in 2012.
vito Posted November 5, 2016 at 12:26 PM Posted November 5, 2016 at 12:26 PM I say GO FOR IT!!! We'll never know for sure until there is a test case, so don't worry, we will all be rooting for you to win and stay out of jail!
mauserme Posted November 5, 2016 at 02:59 PM Posted November 5, 2016 at 02:59 PM I think we should stop looking for black and white answers to every question and realize that we often have to function in a world filled with shades of gray. Look at the thing you want to carry in, decide if people will know you're carrying or not, and move on with life. Just use common sense.
