accidental exposure question

[bellyfat]

if you are legaly carrying concealed and your clothing accidentaly exposes your weopon,
and you are in a non open state, are you in trouble from a leagle stand point?

Apparently in Florida a law has been passed whereby accidental exposure is not illegal.

This law apparently covers you in case of many common accidental breif exposure situations.

So you may have to check the laws for your particular state.

Not in Florida Gov. Scott signed that bit in last year.

First thing he has done that I like.

If the exposure is accidental you are not in trouble but you ARE reqiured to take corrective measures as soon as you become aware of the exposure.

In Texas accidental exposure is not a crime. I don't about other states laws.

The only problem you should encounter is that if someone has seen your weapon & calls 911 but like was said in an earlier reply cover it up as soon as you are aware of it & don't run from the situation as that will make you look as a guilty party & the police will be on the lookout for you.

Depends on state laws but most states include wording along the lines of "intentional failure to conceal" is a violation of concealed carry laws.

Goodness knows how many times I have had accidental exposures in supermarkets mostly because I am just 5' tall and the shelves are 10' high? I just pull myself together to correct it then think nothing of it. If anything I am more concern about reaching that elusive bottle of Coke for my husband than anything else that I wait for some lanky, tall, handsome man to pass by who will be willing to get that Coke or two off the shelf for me. :lol: I'm from Missouri. I do not know if we have a law on accidental exposure. Someone else can clarify that one...

I accidentally exposed once and the girl I caught looking laughed at my little gun and I became embarrassed then she showed me hers. She had a pair of super 38's packed under her shirt. She could barely keep those things holstered and she whipped those puppies out and let me get my hands all over them. It was at that point she grabbed my little gun and whispered "I like big guns with long barrels that shoot big bullets". Needless to say I now carry a full 9.5" 480 and it can go bang all day long.

Is this a hypothetical question? North Carolina allows open carry with some exceptions in some communities in the Raleigh/Cary area I think.

A flight attendant was stationed at the departure gate to check tickets. As a man approached, she extended her hand for the ticket and he opened his trench coat and flashed her. Without missing a beat, she said, 'Sir, I need to see your ticket, not your stub.'

Ooopppsss...wrong topic...:lol: :lol: :lol:
