What does "concealed" mean?

DON & LINDA LEACH
Oregon Concealed Co. Founders

"It is important to understand the “concealed” concept. With the background we have provided above, with no statutory or administrative law definitions of the word “concealed” in the law, it becomes a term of legal art with its common meaning. Flowing from this treatment and attached to the statute is a “mens re” or “criminal mind set.” The alleged “criminal” had to have intended to conceal, to hide, or to secret his gun on his or her person, or within his or her control to be guilty of the crime of wrongfully carrying a concealed handgun.

·     To carry concealed, one has to intend the handgun be hidden from view and/or secreted so that others cannot see it."
