The simple answer is:
No, a CCW is for concealment only. While you may not be prosecuted for inadvertently exposing the firearm, it could be grounds for you lose your permit to carry concealed.
The complicated answer is:
States all have diffrent laws pretaning to weapons. While a person may have a CCW, open carry is acceptable in some area. Some states do allow it, with or with out a permit. Others may allow it but complicate the issues by prosecuting people for inducing panic. Additional information: Some states, such as Tennessee, don't issue concealed handgun permits, but handgun carry permits. In Tennessee, it is legal, even though some people will tell you it's not, to carry a handgun openly if you have a permit, and the DA of the state has issued a memo stating that this is correct.
