Question RE: HB910 - Pocket carry

[Javier730]

I carry a BUG in my pocket and occasionally that is the only gun I carry. I turn the gun upside down so the grip is in the bottom of my pocket. The muzzle end of the holster is closed and thin, so looks like a wallet. It's a little slower to draw since it takes a maneuver using both hands but gives me total concealment. My holster is the 2 sided one here. http://www.recluseholster.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

How do you do that without covering any part of your body?

It's hard to explain, but I'll try. I grab the holster from the muzzle end, but where there is no muzzle. I'm right handed so that would be the upper right corner of the holster. I pull the holster from my pocket and rotate the muzzle away from my body to bring the grip to the top. While rotating, I bring the holster to the front of my body and put it in my left hand. Then I can draw from the holster with my right hand.

With my body shape, should it accidentally discharge while carrying it (unlikely since the gun is on safe, the trigger is covered and nothing else goes in the pocket) the bullet would go up and away from my body. If I carried the muzzle down, I'd likely shoot myself in the leg.

In practice, I have found that I'm less likely to hit the trigger with the muzzle pointed up. Also, the holster doesn't get hung on my pocket when trying to pull it out.

"Bullet would go up and away from my body"
What goes up must come down.

you are responsible for every projectile that comes out of that barrel. My opinion, you should find a better way of carrying.

The new rules look very straight forward. If you carry concealed then you can carry in any concealed manner. The instant that gun becomes non-concealed, by that definition, and more precisely you will be in the world and statutes of open carry. And that open carried gun must be in a hip or shoulder holster.

You need to distinguish as to whether any visible part or whole of a gun is the result of an unintentional display (covered by one statute) of a concealed gun or of a deliberate open carriage (covered by the new statute).
