1. ““They all testified that they never saw the gun until Delk drew, even though they had a view of Delk’s back and hip pockets. If Delk had the gun in his pocket this testimony indicates that it was there concealed and not ‘sticking out’ as claimed by Delk. It is sufficient we think to require a submission to the jury on the question of concealment.” Id. 344 S.W. 2d 833 .”
