I carry CCW EVERY DAY this way!
It is the easiest, and most consistent way to carry concealed legally!
The firearm? A 15 oz. S&W Airweight .38 spl. snubbie. In my case, a 1971 Model 37 in an Uncle Mike's #3 size pocket holster (cost, about $12). IMHO, there's no more perfect handgun for CCW use than an aluminum-framed S&W Airweight!
I wore it today while traveling, while stopping enroute to use the bathroom at a convenience store . . . while stopping to talk to a cop and wish him Merry Christmas as I walked out of that store . . . at my son's 30th birthday party (complete with in-laws present and getting to hold my 1 year old grandson . . . during the family photos . . . and later at Outbacks where I took everyone out to eat.
BTW, I just uploaded a photo made today during family photo time, just to prove the point. My trusty J frame is in my front pants pocket, as usual!
No one noticed, and I've gotten to where I know I don't have to be paranoid about my legal right to carry either!
I just toss the M37 in the clean holster and slide it in the pocket of my slacks (or dress pants) and I'm good to go ANYWHERE I can tote legally!
Hmmm . . . last night . . . it was wearing it as my combo set up in a country club for a gig, etc.
The night before? Out Christmas shopping.
With an Airweight J-frame in a pocket holster, you can act natural and never worry and, as others said, you can slide your hand in your pocket (which is so normal anyway) and you are ready if you perceive a threat!
