You'll be shocked to realize just how clueless Joe Public is.
Like you and most all new to carrying, you feel like the 'bulge' is showing to the whole world and you're only minutes from being "ousted".
After 10+ years of carrying, I've come to learn that I could literally wear a shirt with an arrow pointing to the area of which I may "print" and nobody would ever notice. They're too busy in their own lives, usually buried in their phones, to notice anything significant, much less... insignificant like "printing".

Ok.. I have a whopping 8 days carrying and are you guys ever correct. Nobody has even noticed, and if they did never said a word. I just picked up a Ruger LC9 this morning from Grab A Gun
www.grabagun.com for $285.00. Cleaned it took it to the range and was super impressed. It is replacing my Bersa Thunder 380 as my new CC... Smaller and of course 9mm VS 380. I have my Bersa sold, so pretty much no extra money out except for a new holster but that's ok...
I am getting more comfortable with it in my wasteband, I can still feel it especially driving, but even in my short tenure I've already noticed that I am getting more used to it.. By next week I'll probably only notice when I DON'T have it with me....

You'll feel buck naked without it. It's as bad as forgetting a watch.
