Please don't be too hard on me, folks -- it's intended as a serious question. I'm accustomed to open carry and do so on a regular basis, but have picked up my CCL so that I have the option. Now that I have the option, I don't want to be an idiot and cause myself unnecessary headaches. I posted this in the New Mexico specific forum, but thought it might be worth repeating here.
I'm under the impression that other states define the term "concealed" and the definition can be extremely problematic for the individual that doesn't follow the rules -- it's why you see discussions regarding "printing". I've dug through the NM statutes many times and can't find a definition of "concealed carry", only a definition of "open carry" (must be clearly visible from 3 angles, etc, etc).
The answer is important to me due to a shoulder and hand injury that results in my being extremely restricted in my options for type of gun to be carried (Glock G19 or comparable) and how to carry it (SERPA holster, strong side, forward tilt).
It would be appreciated if anyone here could direct me to the correct portion of the statutes if I've simply skipped past the relevent section, or just plain be willing to give me a bit of schooling on the facts of life in the Rio Rancho/Albuquerque area.
Many thanks,
Dan
