Perspective is important. The “no open carry” rule is just that: A rule. It’s a rule that a private company has on their private property. It is not a law.

This means that you can legally walk into the place open carrying. All they can do is ask you to leave. You don’t run afoul of the law unless they ask you to leave and you don’t.

What does it mean to “concealed carry”? In several states, the legal definition is that 75% of the firearm is unobservable. This definition has been used to obtain convictions for illegal concealed carry for something so simple as has having your shirt accidently cover the firearm. So by law and precedent, it is a valid definition.

So how can that be “pushed” in favor of an effort to normalize carrying of a firearm? Given the above, I would assume that a flap holster would meet the legal definition of a concealed firearm. Would walking around wearing a flap holster (which is obvious) still work to normalize the public perception. How would Walmart or other businesses react?

It would be an interesting experiment.

No One Asked to Leave

 

When it comes to Walmart, you won't be by employees - they do not confront anyone, even shoplifters. The liability along with potential bad PR from stuff like vids popping up on Youtube is risky these days. AP calls the cops and tracks them through the store, when they leave out the doors they run smack into the open arms of the police.
