Besides this, is Pocket carry a good idea?
The conventional wisdom is that pocket carry should be avoided if at all possible. It's better to carry in or otherwise on the waistband if one can help it, or so the refrain goes. It's closer to the truth to say that pocket carry - if done right - is a perfectly viable method of concealed carry.
However that may be, is it illegal to carry without a holster? While in some instances it is perfectly legal to carry concealed without a holster, it is never a good idea to do so. There are traditional and non-traditional means of carrying concealed, and I'll cover why some form of “holster” is your best bet for carrying your weapon responsibly.
Nonetheless, is Pocket carry considered concealed carry?
Absolutely just the same as if you are conceal carrying and print through your clothes usually a gun is considered concealed if it is not discernable by an ordinary person. Carrying a gun in a pocket without it being in a holster specifically designed for pocket carry of that specific gun is pretty stupid.
Do you need a holster to pocket carry?
If you are going to pocket carry, never, ever have anything else in that pocket with the gun. Your car keys, money, and everything else needs to be in another pocket. ... Your pocket gun should always be in a pocket holster and the holster needs to cover the trigger guard.
