Hello All first post here
I was concerned about printing. I carry a Kel Tec pf9 so its already very small, but some times the holster, and handle pokes into my shirt. You can not tell it is a gun but someone could tell that something was there if they were looking. Could i get in trouble here in Texas? Thank you ahead of time.

BE SAFE

If it is not printing the outline of a gun then you are fine. I would suggest that you wear a size or two larger shirt than you would otherwise to help with the printing. This is assuming that you are wearing your shirt untucked.

Ok that may be something I consider. Where do you where your gun? I wear mine at 5 o'clock and I have just slight problem

Welcome to the TexasCHLForum!

You can't get in trouble in Texas for "printing" because there are no laws against "printing."

I would suggest a larger loose shirt if you are uncomfortable with it. The longer you carry the more at ease you will become.

Prints will break up the outline as well. Plus, it is WAY more noticable to you than the average joe....Most don't notice nuttin!

As long as you don't wear a shirt with a picture of a gun on the back.

In other words, prints break up the prints?

I think it's a matter of capacity. If you have enough printing on the shirt, there is no room for any more printing.

Respectfully, if you think you have only a slight problem then you might not have any problem at all. That's just from experience.

Another thing that helps is adjusting where you carry just a bit. Everyone has a "sweet spot". You'll find yours. Just keep working with it.

Printing is no more of an offense than walking down the street with a rifle over your shoulder, in Texas.

Where does cursive come in?

TAM,

Well, I thought it was witty..

I have to print if I care to have my scribing understood.

My other writing can't be described as cursive, but more painstaking drawing....

That is why 30.06 requires block letters. Most CHLs can't read cursive.
