For me my .380 Bodyguard fits securely in a holster under my untucked shirt or jacket. I prefer that no one knows I am carrying.
The "SP" logo on the Sneaky Pete gives it away as being intended for carrying a weapon. Kel-Tec makes a similar mistake with an embroidered "Kel-Tec" on their belt holster. I blacked out the words on mine, but an alert officer friend of mine immediately discerned what it was. I use a different approach now.

I doubt that you are going to get any Sheriff in his right mind to give you something in writing that a particular holster meets the requirements of the law.

As someone else has already observed, the SP holster could contain a cell phone, candy bars or something else. Be sure that the outline of a pistol cannot be seen.
