Most people won't even know you are carrying. Here would be a more realistic scenario: You walk into an establishment that is 30.06 posted. For whatever reason, your shirt rides up and the employee sees you are carrying. If they call the cops and you are confronted, LEO can write you up to a $200 ticket for violating 30.06 (assuming it's Jan 1, 2016 or later). If you refuse to leave the premises, then you are going to get charged with a Class A.
Since most won't even notice you are carrying, you will probably be on your way without any encounter.

If they had 30.07 posted also in this scenario, could you get charged with both?

Charged with both 30.06 & 30.07 violations? I doubt one could justify that. Unless you are asking 30.07 being charged with Class C & Class A. Of course, it all comes down to whether you were given oral notice and failed to depart to justify the Class A.
