And I appreciate it, now that holster would just need some retention according to the law as it is now... sigh.

I'm going to write Estes with my concerns for this licensed bill. The only other gripe I have is LEO asking for license every time they want. That does not seem right to me, but during the hearing I heard numerous folks state that LEO could walk up and check for a handgun license for anyone open carrying.

So my gripes are:
Change "belt or shoulder holster" to just say "holster"
No retention requirement, since there is no standard and we aren't chasing criminals all day like cops
Provision to keep LEO from asking for license just because they want to

I'm all for Constitutional Carry, but if we get licensed carry, it needs to be right.

I haven't mounted it yet, but I picked up a Grassburr holster and concealment cover. I'd like to be able to use it without the concealment cover for ease of access.

No, it specifically has to be in a belt or shoulder holster. Not any holster will do.

Hopefully they get rid of the "belt or shoulder" requirement for the holster. I'm not holding my breath, though.

Maybe I can sew some belt loops onto the Grassburr holster and call it a day.

So take a standard belt holster and mount it.
