We decided to go to a certain nameless restaurant for a early dinner, so I just un-tucked my shirt and was instantly concealed. I simply didn't want to alarm any of the patrons of the restaurant. It was nice to have the choice.Glockedandlocked wrote:That is the true benefit of the open carry provisions, really it will protect the cc crowd in case of exposures or printing, etc.
I view it as another option, if I feel like OC then I can, if I want to cover it up I can.......... I have the choice now.
Text of subsection effective on January 01, 2016
(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 displays the handgun in plain view of another person in a public place. It is an exception to the application of this subsection that the handgun was partially or wholly visible but was carried in a shoulder or belt holster by the license holder.
So now you can basically not worry at all about printing or the gun becoming visible as long as its in a shoulder or belt holster
