Sorry luv, but you have no idea what you are talking about. I have a Nevada CCW permit and the permit is for a CONCEALED WEAPON. Permit class instructor, ex cop, ex detective, forensic guy and firearms instructor told us if we carry in a public place, like WalMart, (his exact example) "you better not reach up to get something off the top shelf and expose your firearm...you may have a SWAT team waiting for you when you go out the door".
That holds for any concealed weapon...its supposed to be concealed not flopping around for everyone to see.
Thanks for your post but previous posts informed me that gun laws differ widely from state to state and that concealed weapon permits demand that weapons remain concealed. I didn’t know Scott’s weapon was a “concealed weapon.” Obviously if it was intended to be concealed it should have been. Aside from my ignorance of gun laws, my point was that even if one is allowed to carry a weapon in the open it could be dangerous for the reason stated by the expert you quoted.. And the same goes for an ostensibly concealed weapon that is allowed to be seen.
