The 1% that may notice are probably carrying too so where is the problem?
This topic comes up a lot so it must be an item of concern to many people who carry a handgun.
I'm not worried about the 99% who don't notice, I worry about the 1% (Personally, I suspect it's more than 1%) who do.
The reason I worry about that 1% is because the odds are very good that those are exactly the people who I don't want paying attention to me.
Cops look for people who are armed, it's just a thing that they do, I don't want cops paying attention to me.
Criminals pick their victims by people watching, I don't want them to know I'm armed unless I have to defend myself. I especially don't want them to know I'm armed (A free gun is a nice, fat, juicy, easy to sell target) unless I have to defend myself because I don't want them to have time to change their plan of of attack to account for my gun. I'd much rather a criminal would decide I'm not worth their time.
