Thanks guys. I am aware of some cities that do not allow open carry and that's OK with me, I was just wondering that since I have a CCL, that if I was allowed to open carry legally. What I'm trying to get at I think is that somewhere in the CCL laws I remember reading that you must conceal "completely" your firearm if you are carrying. In other words, no one should be able to see that you are carrying a firearm. Now if I was open carrying and an officer asked if I had a CCL, would that be taken as I did not conceal my weapon? I hope I'm making myself clear on this question.
OK, I understand now and that's what I thought but I wanted to make sure. Just follow the laws no matter which way you carry. I just would hate to get arrested for some technical mistake.
