As my username suggests, I'm a pizza delivery guy. I deliver in the west end of Louisville which I'm sure many of you know, is not a nice part of town. You may recall hearing about a pizza guy getting shot there in the beginning of April? That was a close friend of mine. (He's recovering and going through rehab, by the way.) I'm still working there while I work on getting transfered to a safer area.
Anyway, my questions: My company policy forbids weapons of any sort but because of the nature of the job the managers tend to look the other way. I don't have my CCDW so my only option is open carry. Most people don't notice a weapon even if it's right in front of their face but I'd like to keep it as inconspicuous as possible while still being safe. My work occasionally has me moving through crowds or having my hands occupied with people behind me. What are the limitations of how hidden a gun can be while still being considered open carry? I've searched around and haven't found a clear answer.
I've seen some reference to laying the gun on the seat of a vehicle or in a visible holster while driving but the only law reference I can find only refers to keeping it in the glove box. I drive a Jeep Cherokee with a tiny glove box that I can't fit my gun in, so that's not an option. It's also a hassle to holster/unholster every time I get in and out of my vehicle.
Leo's in that neighborhood generally cut me a lot of slack but I want to have my bases covered here. There's always the chance of getting the stickler.
Thanks in advance for whatever insight you can offer.
