Concealed Carry Holsters in Florida

I cannot seem to get a response from local law enforcement on this. Are these holsters shown legal in the state of Florida? I only ask because they do not always go UNDER a shirt. Does anyone know?

Welcome to the community.

I live in Florida. Concealed is concealed. Sneaky Pete holsters qualify as concealed. Concealed does not mean “under a garment.” It means the gun cannot be seen for what it is.

:+1: Ditto. I own a couple of them. Rarely use them anymore, but I had a p/t gig before the pandemic where I had to wear uniform shirts and khakis or jeans on the job. One day, the boss showed up and told me he would prefer me to tuck in my shirt. I went home and ordered a Sneaky Pete. Worked like a champ!

I don’t consider them secure enough for much else, but I have spent a lot of my adult life in open carry mode and am an advanced martial artist. For me, wearing a pistol in the SP holster takes away an array of less lethal options in responding to threats. I’m not going to tangle with some drunk armed this way. Too easy to lose control of the firearm. Some SPs only have 1 steel belt clip. The larger ones have 2. All have only a magnetic closure. I’d prefer a strap and QR buckle with 2 steel clips or integrated belt loops. On that job, I spent 90% of my time behind a customer service counter with no more than 1 other employee. So it worked.

Welcome to the family @Deborah34 and you are in the right place at the right time.

Agree 100 percent with @OldGnome concealed is the gun not being visible.

Florida 790.001(2) states, “Concealed firearm” means any firearm, as defined in subsection (6), which is carried on or about a person in such a manner as to conceal the firearm from the ordinary sight of another person." So then per Florida statute as such, the Sneaky Pete Holster does not offer to “The ordinary sight of another person” that you are carrying a firearm or other weapon as described in Florida 790.001(3)(A) - “Concealed weapon” means any dirk, metallic knuckles, billie, tear gas gun, chemical weapon or device, or other deadly weapon." 790.001(2) further defines “Concealed Firearm” as, “A concealed firearm in Florida is defined as a firearm that is meant to be concealed so that others would not ordinarily be able to see it.” In my layman’s reasoning, I feel that the Sneaky Pete holster meets the definition and legal standard for “Concealed Firearm”. PS. I ordered a few “Apple” phone vinyl applications and I placed one (Red) on the outside of my holster to further dissuade “Others” from “Seeing” that inside is a firearm; - very convincing. Be safe Y’all!
