What does it mean to 'conceal' a pistol?

  1. The pistol is carried in a way that allows for immediate access

  2. The pistol is visible to the public but carried in a holster

  3. The pistol is not visible to the ordinary sight of another person

  4. The pistol is kept within the interior of a vehicle

The correct answer is: The pistol is not visible to the ordinary sight of another person

Concealing a pistol means that the firearm is not visible to the ordinary sight of another person. This is an important aspect of carrying a concealed weapon and is often a legal requirement when carrying a concealed pistol in public places. Concealment helps maintain a level of discretion and prevents unnecessary alarm or panic. Option A is incorrect because carrying a pistol in a way that allows for immediate access would not necessarily be considered concealed. Option B is incorrect because if the pistol is visible, it is not considered concealed. Option D is incorrect because keeping a pistol within the interior of a vehicle does not necessarily mean it is being concealed while on the person in public.
