When I cc now, with either my Glock 19 or my Glock 43, I do not worry if my handgun becomes exposed by either reaching for something or by a gust of wind. Nor do I concern myself with printing. But I never intentionally expose my Glock while cc. . I am just more comfortable with my Glock in a holster on my side covered by a light jacket or coat. Several people have observed my handgun from time to time but have never said anything nor did they have a frightened look about them.
I open carry sometime but when I do, its mostly outdoors not inside a business. Its just my comfort zone.
Just my opinion. I'm sure others feel different.

1) For your service!
2) for the response.
I get that. I was mainly asking the OP because he said fear of printing kept his G19 in the drawer for a long time.
I've carried my G19 religiously for 9 years and never had an issue. There have been times where it was definitely "printing" but that has never bothered me because 99.9% of the people out there won't notice printing, ever, and also because it wasn't illegal to accidentally expose.
Now with OC, I can see how it's more comfortable in terms of concern over exposure, but in reality, it wasn't an issue before although myth had a lot of people believing that "printing" was illegal.
