I carry IWB using sticky holsters like remora's sometimes. I wonder if unintentional flashing of the handle or what not (shirt raises up) if its in a hip holster not attached to a belt will be an issue.
Unintentional display of your firearm has never been an offense.
Fairly certain you are incorrect on the unintentional part of that. Want to say it was 2013 when it changed, pretty sure it was the year the decrease in classroom time happened.
Actually, it never was an offense. However, the language was a little ambiguous, so the wording was changed in 2013 to help clarify unintentional failure to conceal to keep anyone from misconstruing the act.
Ah, thanks for clarifying. I did my class September 1, 2013, and they made it sound like it had been one and was just changed. So carry on, I was wrong.

We've had a couple of multi-page topics on what is a belt holster. There are more opinions than there are styles of holsters it seems.

Re: Is "failure to conceal" still a thing once open carry starts?

I don't think the law specifies that it has to be on the outside of your pants. So I don't see a problem with a visible IWB holster. I'm not a police officer, or district attorney either though.
