Things like keeping your draw hand free when walking with groceries or unlocking a door, making sure your S/O knows where your weapon is and ammo in the event you go down or unable to draw, keeping your strong side free from obstruction etc.
If I'm out with an unarmed friend I trust in a sketchy area/situation, I tell them where I'm holstered, where my ammo is, and first thing they need to do if things go south, run away and take cover. It they cant, they know where I'm armed so they have a fighting chance.
