I think one of the early stages that most of us who legally carry concealed go through is the paranoia of wondering if we've been "made."
Don't worry, you'll get over it once you notice how little that others truly notice YOU!
However, to me, carrying concealed MEANS that the gun IS concealed. Our state doesn't have an open carry provision, so I make sure the gun is concealed.
AND YES . . . those goofy "photographer's vests" and fag bags (fanny packs) DO scream "Shoot Me First!" Avoid them like the plague . . . and no one will ever suspect that you are carrying.
It no longer worries me when I carry if someone is going to "make" me. I doubt they would and, if they did, it is only because they are a fellow CCW carrier or an LEO. I have no problem with either!
DITTO TOO . . . on watching the hands! Bulges and eyes can't hurt you . . . until the hands start moving where they shouldn't go.
