You're half right - you must have a CHL/LTC to legally carry CC or OC, but no law requires a retention type holster - just a holster - type not specified other than belt or shoulder.

Thanks for the clarification. I wonder where I got this notion of retention holster requirement? It does seemed to be a good idea to have some sort retention device to protect one's pistol in the open.

Nothing in the law requires use of retention. How are you going to lose your CHL/LTC by using a non-retention holster?

Since I have absolutely no desire to OC, I admit I have not study this aspect of law at all. However, I was under the impression that in order to legally OC, one MUST have a CHL and a retention holster. Am I wrong on this?

What say you?

Thanks!

I am a bit puzzled by this question. Why would anyone with a CHL jeopardize doing something illegal that could cost you to loose your CHL? I won't open carry largely due to lost of tactical advantage, but if I do, I will make sure it will be 100% legal.
