Does a bulge in your clothing, which most would construe as a gun, violate the concealment law? I got out of my car the other day and didn't realize my holster was kind of pushed around and the handle of the gun was kind of sticking out into my shirt. Not visible, but anyone looking at me would know I'm carrying a gun.

And then I had to adjust it there in the parking lot. I did it without the gun becoming visible, but again, obvious what I was doing.

I always do a quick check after exiting the Vehicle and ask my wife if I am not concealed well . Try doing a once over after exiting the car. As far as law check you state laws. Here is a good site Handgunlaw.us

Concealed is not defined and 'kind of concealed'...

Stay armed...no bulges...stay safe!

Nope. You can bulge so much that it looks like you've stuffed a chair under your shirt and it should'nt matter.

I have to pull my shirt down if I get up from sitting or bending over. Tends to bunch up around the grip.

A bulge is a bulge and only reveals that it is a bulge. A visible gun is a visible gun. A concealed weapon is a concealed weapon. Concealed is "hidden from plain sight".

All depends on state law. Some prohibit "printing." Others prohibit only "intentional display."

If it is obvious that the bulge is a gun, it is printing. If it could be a cat, ....

A bulge on the hip is brandishing, just like a bulge "somewhere" else is lewd and lascivious. Yeah right.

If someone can see that you have a gun and not a cell phone, you're wrong.

Depends on the state.

In MN law, we can carry open or concealed with our permit. So concealed is covered in MN and does not matter if it bulges or even shows.

Most people would not see a S&W 500 6" in an OWB on your side with a normal carry shirt because people are

Agreed, and with lots of folks carrying cellphones and leatherman's on their belts, I can hardly see how anyone could prove a "buldge".
