I'm not trying to make a particular point. I'm just curious to hear various points of view.
I know some states have laws about "printing" but where I live, I can legally open-carry a holstered pistol downtown, so there aren't any legal reasons to avoid "printing" at all costs. Of course, I also understand that there are good reasons not to advertise that you're carrying in populated places, including politeness, tactics, etc.
However, barring extreme cases, I'd think that most concerns about "printing" assume that someone is looking closely. Maybe I'm wrong about that.
So...
How important is it to avoid "printing", to you, with a concealed handgun?
Why is it or isn't it?
Other thoughts?
