However, The police officer either misinderstands the law or he, in nervousness, misspoke. I'm going to assume the latter. However, he implied that now, with licensed open carry, concealed carry will no longer be allowed. I might go down to the station for clarification of their understanding while I'm in town. KRGV (toward the end of th video) also made the aggravating mistake of saying that hospitals are statutorily off limits.
"People need to remember, even if you are 21 and you have the class… once you get the training and certified with your license, it's going to clearly tell you it has to be holstered outside your hip not inside the waistbands concealed in anyway,” Garza said. “Clearly visible open carry or on a shoulder holster, holster is the keyword. You just can't carry it anyway you want."

I think what he meant was that you can't have in an IWB holster partially exposed which he is still mistaken. It just say belt or shoulder holster. A partially visible IWB meets the definition of the law IMHO, it's open and on your belt.
Chance favors the prepared. Making good people helpless doesn't make bad people harmless.
There is no safety in denial. When seconds count the Police are only minutes away.
Sometimes I really wish a lawyer would chime in and clear things up. Do we have any lawyers on this forum?
