Conceal Carry question.
bullit:
CHP has no bearing on your legal rights to OC. That being said, it has been determined (and you or someone else can look it up) that you are NO LONGER afforded the right of "affirmative defense" in carrying concealed in say a bank.

So back to the original question: I grab a few beers with a buddy. Not drunk but obviously can't carry concealed. Am I ok to take the weapon out and put it on the seat beside me (outside Omaha that is)? I'm making the assumption that open carry doesn't have the same "zero tolerance" alcohol rules that CCW does.

I'm saying out loud and clearly that I simply don't know. And that no one else does, either. Because.....this issue is not clearly covered in the laws and won't be until it is decided in a court case, thereby becoming case law.
Until such time, it dangles out there. Best to take a conservative approach in the meantime.

So you're saying you don't know? 8)
SemperFiGuy:
Clearly, I am saying that I do not know.
CHP rules say that no part of the handgun may show.
Open Carry has no statewide written rules, but lots of parts of the handgun do show during open carry. Which violates the written CHP rule for CHP holders.
Almost quaiifies as being a dilemma. With horns.
As a CHP holder, I intend to continue to carry with no part of the handgun showing. And continue not to imbibe any alcohol before or while carrying. A conservative approach. But then, I've always been a conservative kinda guy.
