What better way to diffuse a situation that would otherwise come down to the CCW carrier having to draw and shoot an attacker?

from the article, "So if you're not displaying your heat in 'an angry or threatening manner'.."

i'm not certain, but it sounds like the intent of the law is to cover you if, for example, you open your jacket to get your wallet and your firearm shows.

The whole thing is a very bad law. They use such terms as “Briefly”, “Inadvertant” “Angry”. These are not legal terms.

This leaves it up to the LEO to determine what they mean. You may win in court, but a LEO could arrest you and haul you away if his definition of “Briefly” or “Angry” differs from yours. You’ll “win”, but it could cost you thousands.

Which is why we carry our wallets (and cell phones) on the opposite side of our body from the weapon.
