Yes if the barrel is long enough to be legal

This very thing is the reason that I stay away from RIA auctions... Well, this all those other things they are selling.

What a beautiful gun. :drool: Interesting design. A variation of the take down shotgun.

Yes you can open carry with the shotgun. You cannot carry it in the holster, IMO, as it would be partially concealed. The barrel length is 19.5".

But why would you want to carry that thing?

Their website says the shotgun has a 20" barrel.

IIRC, there is no law in Texas that says a long gun cannot be carried concealed. We talk all the time about carrying our rifles in covert bags of one type or another. I wouldn't carry this around openly or concealed, but it is a really cool shotgun. If I could afford one, I wouldn't mind having one.

I was mostly joking. I thought it was a really cool design.
