How is a firearm defined as being concealed?

If it is stored away in a safe
If it is hidden in a person’s clothing
If any part of it is hidden
If it is in a closed bag

The correct answer is: If any part of it is hidden

A firearm is defined as being concealed when any part of it is hidden from view. This definition encompasses a variety of circumstances, including a firearm being partially obscured or covered by clothing or other materials. The essence of concealment lies in the lack of visibility; if even a small portion of the firearm is not visible, it can be classified as concealed. The other choices involve scenarios that do not fit the standard definition of concealed. For instance, a firearm that is stored in a safe is not accessible or visible in a way that would constitute concealment. Similarly, while a firearm hidden in a person’s clothing would certainly meet the criteria for concealment, the phrase “any part of it is hidden” allows for a broader interpretation that includes various situations, making it more accurate. Finally, if a firearm is placed in a closed bag, it may not be readily visible, but unless any part of the firearm is obscured, it doesn't fulfill the specific criteria for concealment as defined in legislation.
