Define concealed carry.

I saw some comments where guys were obviously joking recently. The idea of someone carrying a firearm in an outside the wasteband holster, WITH an untucked shirt seemed to be generally looked at as not concealing the firearm. Or at least not what they deemed concealed carry for the match they were planning on attending. The idea seemed to be that it had to carried IWB with some covering; shirt or coat. I mean..... I get it, but isn’t hiding a firearm; regardless of the method, considered concealing it? Okay.... I know many of the comments made jokingly..... but it did get me thinking. What do you guys think?

BTW, I am a OWB with a jacket, or untucked shirt kinda guy myself.

OWB with an untucked shirt or jacket. If you can’t see the firearm it’s concealed.

Even if you think you see a gun under a guy's shirt, it could be an insulin pump, a colostomy bag, or a number of other things. Most people won't notice anyway and those who do can mind their own business lest I fill them full of holes. Small joke.

My understanding is that if it's covered by as little as a paper napkin it's legally concealed.

I carry 4:30 IWB with an untucked polo styled shirt. I'm convinced you could CCW an UZI IWB because NOBODY looks below another dude's beltline..

if you can't tell make model and serial number it is legally concealed

I'd be screwed, I always carry 3oclock owb with a shirt covering. Haven't carried iwb in years.

Match weenies and their stupid rules...

I’m a little on the chunky side. I just get along with an IWB holster. I’d rather have it at my side than have dog past the “extra” stuff to pull it of needs be.

Yeah it's like when I have to beat the game shooting out of my son and son in law when they are on my range. They get stupid rules ingrained into them and it takes half a day to get them in defensive shooting mindset not playing pew pew games

REALLY??? I used to help out in the SDA department at the OSBI and nothing like that was ever even discussed, let alone make a rule of how concealed was meant to be.

Tell the dufous's that think "only one way" is concealed that they are clueless. I've worn OWB and covered and in a shoulder holster and covered. They'd probably think that I'd shoot someone behind me when drawing from the shoulder rig.

(Yeah, I got it...they were possibly kidding. I repeat, "possibly.")
