I learned something new today from a Silverton LEO.
If you are open carrying (pistol on your belt, small-of-the-back or hip) but then get into a vehicle (lets say youre driving) then the firearm will probably be considered concealed for the following reasons:
It could be covered by the folds in your shirt.
It could be covered by the seat belt or the buckle.
Its not in plain view of a LEO.
A concealed firearm is defined as "any firearm . . . which is carried on or about a person in such a manner as to conceal the firearm from the ordinary sight of another person." Poulakis v. Rogers, 2009 U.S. App. LEXIS 17714 (11th Cir. Fla. Aug. 10, 2009)
