This is a great question. Watching in case anyone offers a legal definition rather than their thoughts.
Not that anyone's thoughts aren't worth while but I'm curious about the legal ramifications.
"Firearms carried openly in belt holsters are not concealed within the meaning of this section."

I agree such as 'What is the legal definition of a holster?'But even more questions now.
I agree but there are a lot of 'UN-knowledgeable' people out there as well and I suspect this could influence the legal definition of holster and potentially how much of the gun needs to be exposed to identify it to ALL people.The holster shown should not be considered a "concealed" carry since it is obvious to a knowledgeable person that it is a "carrier" of a pistol.
Nope! Lawyers will give you opinions based on their interpretations of the law as written.Like Paul Harrell says, you should consult an attorney on the interpretation of the law by local LEOs and DAs.
Actually, I included that word for a specific reason. Laws are generally based on old English common law and common understanding. As a result of MY definition, I'm assuming that an unknowing person, (child, democrat, mentally slow) could assume that either everything was a holster or nothing was a holster. There is no question that there are lots of folks with little or no knowledge of firearm accoutrements, but laws concerning specifics are usually written for those that know. Ignorance of the law is not an excuse for violating it.I agree but there are a lot of 'UN-knowledgeable' people out there as well and I suspect this could influence the legal definition of holster and potentially how much of the gun needs to be exposed to identify it to ALL people.
IDK - just speculation is all.
