Did I sound like I'm concerned? I apologize if I did.
I was just pointing out the law, not stating that I believe it is enforced with any enthusiast fanaticism. I concern myself little with concealment - if my shirt is covering it, I'm cool with it.

Re: concealed means concealed?
Easy to understand, but a difference of opinions between you and law enforcement could occur.bdickens wrote:Why is "intentionally fails to conceal the handgun" so hard to understand?
PC §46.035. UNLAWFUL CARRYING OF HANDGUN BY LICENSE HOLDER. (a) A license holder commits an offense if the license holder carries a handgun on or about the license holder's person under the authority of Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, and intentionally fails to conceal the handgun.

Say you have a jacket blow open. You say it’s an accident, the officer says it is an intentional act. Who will the court believe? Don't know, but it could cost you a lot of money to find out.

While the thread has a lot of good info on where to carry or not and what is "notice" or not, I thought the original topic was going to be degrees of concealment. For example, a police detective will carry his side arm OWB under a sport coat. If the coat flaps open revealing the arm he is OK because "casual concealment" is OK for him. If the same happens to me, I may be in violation. As a civilian I have to take greater care to avoid unintentional display of my gun.
After all, as law abiding citizens, we do wish to unnecessarily alarm innocent passers by.

Re: concealed means concealed?
I would not carry in prohibited places - and I wouldn't suggest anyone here advocate it.
