👉 The covered weapon, also known as a concealed or hidden weapon, refers to firearms or other projectiles that are concealed within clothing, accessories, or other items, making them difficult to spot without specific training or equipment. This category includes items like holsters, belts, gloves, and even certain types of jewelry or backpacks that can conceal a firearm. The concealed weapon rule, established by the Supreme Court in United States v. Miller (1939), generally prohibits individuals from openly carrying weapons in public spaces, but allows for concealed carry under certain conditions and permits, provided the weapon does not pose an immediate threat to public safety.
