"Sneaky Pete" type holsters

I had a recent email asking what I thought about a "Sneaky Pete" type holster.  These are a variation on what started as "fanny pak" holsters, and later developed into small "messenger bag" belt holsters.

The question was whether I thought having a firearm in one of these was considered "concealed" for CWL carry.  It's a pretty simple question - and a pretty simple  answer:  Yes.

I've been using small belt "messenger bags" for CWL carry for over five years.  They're small, and don't look like a gun would be in there, more like a large cell phone or calculator.  For that reason, they are an easy way to carry that doesn't draw attention.   Much better than a fanny pak since most folks instantly think a fanny pak has a gun in it.   Since the firearm, itself, can't be seen -- it is "concealed" under the law.  It doesn't matter if somebody else knows or guesses there's a firearm in there -- the only legal issue is whether the firearm itself, is visible.  Since it isn't -- it is  "concealed", and lawful for CWL carry.

Hope that helps.
