Printing Defined

[Originalist]

First alittle off topic, I love this forum, I dont post alot but I read quite frequently and being deployed, I like being able to keep current on this back in Texas. BIG Thanks to Mr. Cotton and all the mods out there from Camp Bucca Iraq.

At times I'm aware that the vague bulge that is my Glock 19, while not spectacularly obvious, can be somewhat obvious under my outer clothing as I move, and sometimes a small top portion of the grip may possibly be interpretable as to what it actually is as it occasionally comes into contact with the outer cover garment.

All of that being said, am I unlawfully printing?

I didn't think so, but from what I'm reading I'm no longer certain.

Thanks!


There is no law against printing.

Please correct me if I am wrong but; couldnt one, knowing that their gun prints in the clothes that they are wearing and is recognizable be intentionally failing to conceal? Just a question, I know that when I am out I am paranoid about printing, not becuase I dont support open carry I just dont want to violate any laws. Thanks Bryan

I've asked LEO friends about printing and one answer really stuck with me.

"If I notice someone's firearm (printing) under a shirt or jacket, and it's in a holster, not stuck in their waistband, they get less scrutiny."

If i'm concerned about my weapon printing against my cover garment,I might look at a different holster that conceals the weapon better or a more concealable firearm,the element of surprise can be the deciding factor in a mugging or robbery.
