OC with CHP

[gocoastal]

I've been told by more than one source that this isn't legal. I couldn't find that in the text of the statute. Anyone know?

You've been told incorrectly more than once.

What if the "wind" flips up your shirt? Are you brandishing or "temporarily OC-ing"?

You're someone who needs to rethink your wardrobe.

You'd be surprised at how much support skinny jeans provide. I don't need any of this change-your-wardrobe nonsense.

thanks for the response, spanky.

If the wind blows and shows your piece, it is your shirt, not your pants.

1. OC is not illegal
2. if the wind is blowing, be mindful and maybe discreetly keep your arm next to it

Always so much confusion over something so legal.

Well, the law contains everything that is ILLegal, and very little about what is explicitly permitted. Just wanted to verify.

thanks again to the above.

If open carrying is legal, why do people bother with a CCW except for not wanting the attention?
My dad, a former LEO, said if a cop really wants to, he can consider the holster to be concealing part of the gun, therefore you'd be carrying a concealed weapon without a permit.

Edit: This thread answers my question. http://www.glocktalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=873593
Now I have another. If OC is legal, why in the hell is concealed carrying illegal?

There's a lot of back and forth right here on this board about that subject. It has been very well covered by both sides.

My dad, a former LEO, said if a cop really wants to, he can consider the holster to be concealing part of the gun, therefore you'd be carrying a concealed weapon without a permit.

Pull that with the wrong person in LA and he'd likely find himself court (no matter what your fellings are on OC).

Your dad is wrong.

In another thread from the LA carry website someone said that there is no definite amount of the gun that has to be showing. It would up to a jury (or judge) to decide if you meant to conceal or not.
Here it is: http://opencarry.mywowbb.com/forum26/15906.html

My dad doesn't care. He was only saying what could be considered concealed.

The man can do what he wants, but the judge doesn't have to agree with the man, unless he's the man too.

If he considers that concealed and tried slap 14.95 on someone, your dad may find he way in a court soon. LA does not have the stupid law that MS has saying that a holster conceals a weapon. When in a holster and out in the open, it is clearly identified as a gun.

You don't read posts very well.

What do you feel that I missed?

So your dad does not care what the law says. And he would put a bum charge on a law abiding citizen. Is this what your saying?
