IWB for OC?

I follow some gun guys on instagram and one of them posted a picture of his shield in an IWB holster but his shirt was tucked in behind it. You could only see the grip and part of the back of the slide of the gun. Are there laws that say "x" parts of the weapon must be visible in order for it to be considered open carry?

If your "gun guy" is a LEO, then other than his department's rules, he is probably exempted.

The rest of your query is state specific - it depends in which state the "guys" are located. Most states that permit OC only require that the gun is identifiable as a gun. Note other restrictions may apply.

Should you be able to determine in which state this condition is generated, I will move the thread to that state sub-forum for appropriate, applicable answers.....otherwise the answers w/o relationship to state location are pretty meaningless.
