There is no AG opinion on the subject matter either.However, the real world is a little different.First, you have to have someone notice it enough to complain about it. If the average person notices it, then it was obviously not concealed from detection or view.Then we have what is called officer discretion. If an officer happens to notice it, he can use his discretion to decide whether to cite you for it or to just let you know that there is an issue that needs to be corrected. Most of the officers I know personally claim that they would be unlikely to cite someone for printing unless it seemed intentional or reckless (i.e. trying to conceal a Desert Eagle .41AE under an Under Armor shirt), or if someone wanted to file a complaint.If a complaint is filed, then the prosecutor has discretion on whether or not to pursue the case and how to pursue it. Personally, I think it would be unlikely in most parts of the state if it was obviously inadvertent, unintentional, and non-reckless, but you never know and I personally don't want to be the test case. A little surfing of people's records on ODCR/OSCN will show that there is a lot of discretion used on the part of prosecutors (such as one that I came across recently where the charges were initially DUI, failure to notify, and carrying a firearm while intoxicated, but reduced to DWI only for a guilty plea).So in other words, make every effort you can to keep from printing and you'll be okay.</blockquote>
