I live in ky, we are an open carry state as well, called kentucky state police hq and they told me that you must have an unobstructed view o the firearm. They went on to explain that even your shirt only covering the grip was in violation of the law. In your vehicle it was left to the officers descretion as to what was in plain sight and the only safe place was in the glovebox, with or without being locked.

I tried open carry for a wile but was always being followed by the police. I also had one guy wile in line at the grocery store reach down and grab it in my holster? No he didnt try to pull on it just touch it? Dont know what that was about but anyway im in the process of getting my permit now, open carry just wasnt worth the hastle.

I would deffenetly check with local laws first.
