So I have had my CCW for 6 months now. I finally really want to carry a full sized 1911, but I noticed once in a while the end of the holster wants to show itself when I bendover and neal down. Since AZ is open carry, and is something like 1/2 the holster is visible, its still considered open carry, there seems to be some grey area that I don't understand.
Ex. 1
Say you have a jacket on and your pistol concealed, but you need to take off your jacket. Can you then "transition" to to open carry, or is that considered brandishing?
Ex. 2
You have a pistol on your hip, but under a baggy shirt. You need to bend down. While doing so the tip of your holster is displayed as your shirt lifts up a little. Is that brandishing or just consider open carry?
Ex. 3 (this is dumb just to show I know the obvious)
You are yelling at someone and you lift your shirt to display your piece. This is brandishing.
Ex. 4
You are in a parking lot selling a firearm (rifle or handgun) and you take it out of its case to show someone and someone else in the parking lot notices. This is also brandishing. (so said the CCW instructor)
