Update: It appears that casual concealment won't even be an issue, since the first time I OC'd around town this week hardly anybody even noticed I had a 5" 1911 in cross-draw, no cover. Hurray for our rushed society, where nobody even noticed it was there. Seriously, no glances, no acknowledgment. I am really surprised. If causally concealed I am sure that 99% of people wouldn't notice.

Most people won't/don't notice, unless you make sure they do. At least that has been my Oc experience so far. When i OC it is no different than carryig my cell phone hanging from my hip.

We've been saying this for a long time, not sure why people don't believe us.

The general public are for the most part, oblivious.
