Carry question (printing)

[eastwood44mag]

If you live in a state which allows both open and concealed carry, does it make a difference if your concealed piece "prints"? Just curious.

Thanks.

It depends on the state. That above link has the information you seek.

Legally? Probably not much.* However, an unfortunately number of CCWers only thing of terms of legal and illegal. If it becomes obvious you are wearing a gun, particularly in an urban enviroment that isn't used to such things, you risk being questioned by cops/security guards, being asked about it by lookie-lous, perhaps even being refused service at some places.

There may not be any legal consequences and a many posters here will say, "So what if they know I'm carrying." or point out that no one will know if it if a gun or a colostomy bag, or that "sheeple" will never notice anyway. But for me, the hassle is simple not worth it. If you want to take one for the cause, feel free to spend your time explaining to everyone who asks that you are legally able to carry this gun. Me? I've got a places to be. Just my two cents.

Depends, in GA, you aren't allowed to conceal in a place that sells liquor....most other places, I would do my best to hide the fact that I'm packing. It's not worth the hassle.

If you are referring to carrying IWB but carrying it really sloppy or tucking your shirt in behind it so it shows, I don't think that's allowed, but it may be a state by state deal.

how could we possibly give you an answer without knowing what State you live in?

there is no way to answer your question
