Open carry: what about paddle holsters?

Post by Doug.38PR »

Every source o see for the open carry law says you must have a holster that fastens to your belt. Belt hip or inside waistband or shoulder holster.

What about a paddle holster? They are not strictly attached to the belt

I don't recall any portion of the law saying that the holster must be fastened to a belt. What it does say is that it must be a belt or shoulder holster. Read up on this discussion a little here.

The general consensus is that paddle holsters will not be an issue.
