Is this considered a conceled weapon or open carry?

This is just me, but seeing this on a man is no different than a coat with a significant bulge at 3:00. Yes, it could be something else, but for me, I always interpret it as a person carrying. Call it step 1 of situational awareness.

West Virginia where no one could care less. I said it’s what I was told didn’t I? The point he was making I guess is if it’s out there for the world to see it’s open carry which no one cares about either because you don’t even need a permit to conceal here but in open carry you just look dumb but anyway point was if you untuck your shirt and it covers your gun and it can’t be seen it’s considered concealed once again. I don’t give a flying donut what anyone thinks about shirts

I’ve got one like the NAA but it’s made by Standard and it’s got a little lever that flips it open in .22 mag.and in ur pocket you never know it’s there, or anyone else I mean. I think it’s got a pocket clip I can’t remember, I got it sitting at the front door where I keep my keys I’ll have to check in a cpl minutes when I’m in there

Hey you was the one that said ā€œ a shirt has nothing to do with itā€ I was saying something and a f…in shirt was part of the point the guy was making, Geesh don’t act like it’s on me. And you have a nice day.

My NAA mini gets mileage during those steamy summer months. Athletic/elastic waistband shorts limit options as far as concealed carry is concerned; this mini serves me well - better than throwing a handful of sand at an assailant.

During colder, long pants weather, it travels as a backup companion…just in case.

But as you, Mark712 said, it is concealable and not going elk hunting with me.

I saw a guy yesterday in Publix with that exact same pack, but all black. Florida does not allow open carry. Anyway, not to stereotype, but this dude was about 6’5", big black stetson hat, nice boots and leather belt with long gray curly hair coming out all around the hat. My first reaction was, if he could open carry, he’d have a big old Smith model 29 .44 mag in a tooled leather holster, but he’s stuck hiding what I’m sure is a beautiful gun inside that bag.

Anyway, I couldn’t see a gun, so it seemed concealed to me.

Is that your concealed carry at 12:00 IWB or are you just happy to see me?

If you can’t ā€œseeā€ an actual gun it is concealed.

Yup if it can’t be seen it’s concealed…., even by a shirt hanging over it

I just looked ( forgot yesterday) and mine doesn’t have the pocket clip but it’s nice, no one had them when they came out because they were all sold out and the maker Standard Manufacturers or that’s what the box said told dealers it would be months before they could get any more out so my son got on gunbroker where he has a cpl accounts and gets almost all of his guns from had a cpl so I got it from there and it was a grip to for that little thing. But you was saying about hunting I guess some .22 mag bird or snake shot would be in order for a snake if you didn’t wanna make a lot of noise lol ! Heck I’ve got a small box of .44 mag shot shells, those blue plastic tip things but I’ve never shot any of them cause I’ve got one of those Ranch Hands in .44 mag, the little prolly 24ā€ lever action by Rossi. Didn’t wanna spend the over priced Henry one cause the Rossi costed enuf

You’re right about the snake shot. Although it’ll work the barrel may not be long enough to hold a good pattern.

In the grand scheme of things it’s all good!

Missed my point, I will go slower, it’s not concealed to everyone, let that sink in, sure, I cannot see the actual firearm, but, I also can’t look directly at the Sun either, but I know it’s there, so unless the man with the fanny pack in really lite in the loafers drinking a Bud Light, I will stick to my experiences and see a firearm inside that fanny pack, yes, it is one time I will assume, thus, I see the firearm and will be mindful of an armed fanny packer nearby. It is OK for you to think otherwise, but I see it differently, and in all honesty many here reading this can also see a funny pack packing a firearm as well.

Situational awareness means you see that oh-so-manly fanny pack, situation recognition means that you see the firearm inside of it. Its OK to assume on that one. I would.

Assuming it is there is NOT knowing it is a firearm.

I can assume any bulge in a person’s coat, fanny pack or bag is a firearm, but I will not always be right, will I? (Yes or no question)

No, it means you ASSUME there is a firearm, nothing more.

Not every Fanny pack is used for carrying a handgun, but any Fanny pack could be carrying a handgun. What you imagine you might see vs. what you actually see until a firearm is revealed might be a bone of contention in a court of law. Yes, be situational aware, and stay safe. But, as the expression goes be careful about: ā€œJumping the gun.ā€ A false start with a premature trigger pull and a bullet that can’t be recalled for any item other than a firearm being retrieved from a Fanny pack could have very regrettable consequences. Be sure of your actual threat. Like being sure of your target when hunting is not another hunter vs. the game you are hunting.

So, is this concealed?

Why do I have 2 metal clips on my belt?

Anyone with situational awareness enough to notice the clips is likely to conclude (correctly) that I have a gun under my shirt.

I don’t normally tuck my shirt, but I thought I would for the holster thread where the OP is looking for a tuckable unit

Two clips on belt, right hand dominant, one firearm, and one backup magazine, or another smaller firearm as a BUG backup gun.

I would think that if it were a magazine it might be closer to the off hand, to keep the weapon hand on the grip.

A BUG closer to 6 o’clock makes more sense than a mag unless he can reach it with his left hand.
