Later on my wife ordered pizza and asked me to go pick it up. I did, without giving a second's thought to the fact that my handgun was clearly exposed outside my shirt. When I arrived at the store a woman was leaving with pizzas in hand. I held the door for her and she thanked me. I then went in to the store, paid for the pizzas and walked out with them in hand. It wasn't until I got home that I realized my handgun had been exposed the entire time. I don't know if anyone noticed or not, but I do know no one said anything to me. People are a lot less observant than you might think they are.
You'll get used to carrying a gun after a while. Just don't get so used to it that you forget to conceal it, like I did. Lesson learned - always check for concealment before leaving the house.
I have done something very similar. More than once or twice... I hate to admit. The reasons were everything from the shirt snagging when getting out of vehicle to coming out of restroom while being more concerned I wasn't dragging toilet paper on my shoe. I agree, people just don't notice and I would bet the few that might, assume we are a cop or something.
The reaction might be different depending on a persons appearance. A thug looking guy with his pants around his knees is probably gonna get the ole fisheye much quicker than the short haired cop looking old guy.
