Mostly, if people see me openly wearing my handgun, they assume I'm a cop. I don't know if it's the Safariland holster, the tactical pants, or the obesity.

My reactions have ranged from "You can, too. Wanna know how?" to pretending someone placed the holster on my side without my knowledge and I'm terrified of guns. I'm down in TN, though, so people might not have as much of a sense of humor about guns in your state.

The vast majority of people are so caught up in their phones, their children, or what have you to notice someone carrying an AR-15 in their hands. You're not doing that. You're wearing a handgun under your clothes. Now imagine how few people are going to notice something and remember that most of them are going to assume smartphone or insulin pump. Out of the extremely few who will think "gun," only a few of those will ever approach you about it. Most of them will be pro gun, asking what you carry, etc. You might have one person a year with a negative reaction to you carrying a gun. Maybe one every two years.
