However, that does not mean that the people who saw you "print" won't call the cops ;)
I'm betting that a smart lawyer and the right jury could ruin your day on this one.
If I leave the house in a thin T-Shirt and my weapon "Prints", it could be reasonably argued that any intelligent person should have known that it would. "I didn't INTEND for it to show" probably has a high end as a defense.
In cases where your manner of dress...or activities could be expected to reveal your weapon, then I submit you "Intended" to do so by reason of neglect.
I don't believe we can afford to play dumb, dress anyway we want...and then plead "It wasn't my intention" if we get called out on the carpet.
While it may not end in a conviction, it is not good PR for concealed carry.
