“Holster” should encompass any device designed to hold a handgun securely while being carried on the body.

If a holster is required, then there should be no specified number of retention devices or features as there is no one-size-fits-all that would be appropriate throughout the State. It could also prove problematic for certain persons such as women, the elderly and those with certain medical problems like arthritis to draw from a law enforcement-style retention holster.

Plus there is the practical aspect. If a person is carrying a handgun openly in a high crime area where attempts to snatch their handgun might be greater, then they should strongly consider a true retention holster and practice accordingly. Another person living and carrying in areas where there is little if any violent crime may decide that a law enforcement-type retention holster is not needed.
