Article on what to do if caught showing...

That was what the cop in Yakima told him when my buddy got questioned about it.

Cops are usually the worst people to ask with regard to firearm law questions! If what he told you was true then no one would get bagged for their firearm becoming exposed accidentally, because it would be considered open carry at that point. What you were told makes no sense at all (not that MA laws do anyway).

You can carry concealed, or carry openly...you cannot have a mix of both. There are certain criteria that must be met in order for qualify as "open carry" versus concealed. I think the reason they did this so that people can't lift up their shirt as a threat, and just state afterwards that they were "open carrying".

I laughed out loud when I read this. Misinformed cop misinforms friend, and you pass on the favor.

yeh... the cops aren't a law reference, their job is to arrest people and let a judge decide what the law should be, or let the DA make a deal as to what the law is....

the only people interested in what the laws ACTUALLY are, are us.... and we don't matter anyway....

Frick, I've had other buddies get harassed for "partial conceal" and mistakenly took it as truth because I heard it from multiple sources. Stupid me.

You're all overthinking this.

If you're packing heat, and you get noticed, you just yell, "ALLAH AKBAR!!!" and all will be fine.

Post, and let us know how this works out for you!

Fixed it for you hahaha

I think that's Summer Glau and I think the pic is from an episode of the Sarah Conner chronicles.

John Conner, walking to the car: "I've got shotgun."

Cameron (Summer Glau): "I've got 9 millimeter."

I may be mistaken but I believe they were talking about Washington State.... Not Massachusetts

 

[MACGYVR]

Usually if caught showing I just laugh and zip up my fly....

They were, and that doesn't negate the validity of anything you quoted.

You're all overthinking this.

If you're packing heat, and you get noticed, you just yell, "WOLVERINES!!!!!" and all will be fine.
