the only way you'd get "busted" is if a police officer didn't know the carry laws and that would only be until they figured them out |

Quoted:
So if I live in a conceal carry & open carry State, and I do a poor job of concealing... and get busted for it, can I then say "hey I'm open carrying!" to avoid a ticket or something (and I have CHL while this senario occurs) Wait. "Concealed carry+open carry", and "getting busted"? Here I dont think the cops would give a damn unless you were toting where you shouldn't be. |

If it isn't illegal to CCW or OC in your state, why would you be concerned about breaking the law when there isn't a law to break?

Quoted: If it isn't illegal to CCW or OC in your state, why would you be concerned about breaking the law when there isn't a law to break? Enjoy your freedom. We can open carry without permit as long as there is two movements to bring the gun to action. If it is an auto then that means a draw and manipulation of the slide. If it's a revolver then it means one chamber must be empty. If you have your CHL/CFL/CCW whatever then those movements are not needed AND you can carry concealed if you so wish. We also have more reciprocity with other states than any other state. Florida is either tied or close to us. |

I think it would also depend on the method of concealment, yes? For example, an IWB like the supertuck, without a shirt over it, might be construed as brandishing (or something, ARFcom lawyers correct me please) as it is not truly being openly carried.

Someone correct me. Wouldn't be brandishing in VA. OCing while carrying in an IWB holster is called the "Virginia tuck" here because before the restaurant ban was repealed, people CCing had to switch to OC before entering a restaurant that served alcohol, usually by tucking their shirt behind the firearm. As long as it was not "hidden from common observation" then it wasn't considered concealed due to how state law defines a concealed weapon. It's still defined the same way today but now we can carry concealed or open in any restaurant as long as you don't consume alcohol while CCing. |

Quoted: Doesn't matter here. You can conceal it however you want. Brandishing the gun here is presenting the gun in a threatening manner, whether that be showing it in the holster or drawing it, but not aiming it at the person. You are permitted to do that if you feel sufficiently threatened, best along with a verbal warning that you are indeed armed and feeling threatened by said assailant. Personal restraint is always most important here.Quoted: I think it would also depend on the method of concealment, yes?

According to my paperwork with BCI, this is as close to brandishing as I can find.
76-10-506. Threatening with or using dangerous weapon in fight or quarrel. (1) As used in this section, "threatening manner" does not include: (a) the possession of a dangerous weapon, whether visible or concealed, without additional behavior which is threatening; or (b) informing another of the actor's possession of a deadly weapon in order to prevent what the actor reasonably perceives as a possible use of unlawful force by the other and the actor is not engaged in any activity described in Subsection 76-2-402(2)(a). (2) Except as otherwise provided in Section 76-2-402 and for those persons described in Section 76-10-503, a person who, in the presence of two or more persons, draws or exhibits a dangerous weapon in an angry and threatening manner or unlawfully uses a dangerous weapon in a fight or quarrel is guilty of a class A misdemeanor. (3) This section does not apply to a person who, reasonably believing the action to be necessary in compliance with Section 76-2-402, with purpose to prevent another's use of unlawful force: (a) threatens the use of a dangerous weapon; or (b) draws or exhibits a dangerous weapon. So.... to be considered brandishing or threatening / threatening manner you have to have additional behavior besides just visible or unconcealed. Eta - I'm not a lawyer, just someone who found some material in my paperwork for your review. |

Here in Indiana you have to have a LTCH but once you do, you can carry any handgun anyway you wish open or concealed. For that reason, when I am out and about, I don't make a huge effort to conceal my gun. Now with that being said, I would guess 90% or more of the time I am carrying concealed, it's concealed other than printing or the occasional times where I am loading something into a truck and the shirt comes up and over the gun, no biggie. I do open carry but those times are becoming few and far between.
If you had a cover garment over your pistol and didn't have a permit, I would think it could be the officers call. I wouldn't risk it especially with a kick ass permit that Utah has. |

So it's not brandishing if you accidentally show but without an intent to threaten or used in a threatening manner. |
