Beware Touching The Trouser Snake
I think you are 100% correct in that you don't want it known that you are carrying. I have friends in LE who know I carry and critique my concealment effort every time they see me. I've tried about everything reasonable to conceal what I consider a reasonably effective CCW (minimum of .357 full up loads) and have come to either crossdraw or pocket carry. I've been carrying a snubby in my front trouser pocket daily for over a year now. There are tradeoffs to any carry method. Pocket carry is no good if you happen to get carjacked, but for any situation where you are standing I like it...lots. Hey, and if anyone touches my front pocket...I tell 'em to watch out for the trouser snake.
OK, and just a side note...; many folks think of pocket carry as being only for some little .380, .32, or such, but you might be surprized at the size of the iron you can hide in there. You've just gotta dedicate that strong side pocket for your CCW only; no keys, coins, tic tacs, etc.
