Add a vote for 'the sheeple don't notice'.
On a temp assignment, I lived in downtown Charlotte, NC since it allowed me to walk to work. There were resturants and place to eat all within walking distance. No carry at work so the walk to and from work was unarmed but, NC has open carry. After I got home and changed, I put an XD45 Compact on my hip for my movement around town. NC Concealed carry is odd and since OC was available, though not my preference, I thought I see how it went.

Drumroll... In the course of 2+ years, I had three conversations about the fact I had a pistol on my hip.
The first was one with the property managers. I was into to see those gals 6 or more times before one of them said, "When did you start carrying a gun?" They had never noticed it.
The second was the off duty police officer at the Harris Teeter where I shopped. On my third or fourth trip into the store (all of them with polite nods of recognition) I was half way into my shopping when he came up to me said I couldn't carry in the store. I asked why and he said there was a 'no guns' sign at the door. We went to look. Nope. He scratches his head and says, "Hmm. Thought there was...." I continue shopping, he goes back to standing by the front door.
Third time was in Target when a little boy asked me if I was a policeman. Nope, just a guy carrying his gun. Mommy smiles and says she freaked when her husband broached OC. We discussed my experience.

I will say that the bums... I mean residentially challenged fellows in downtown rarely approched me for a handout....

Printing- nope, not on my radar.
