What good would come of that? Isn't there a risk that the clerk/management you notify will panic, call the cops, clear the store, put the premises on lock down, etc.? Here I would be fearful of a gross overreaction by the store clerk/management, and would never bring it to their attention.

It was just the two of us we were seated at a table next to the buffet line. It was winter, I knew "Joe" carried. He was a friend of a friend. Not sure I would call him a friend of mine. While we were eating it started getting warm in there. Joe was wearing a sweatshirt zip up hoodie. He unzipped and lowered the sweatshirt to get some relief while still covering his CCW. A while later the hoodie dropped off his piece fully exposing it. Now, this was not a real easy gun to conceal for most people. It was a full size Kimber 1911 dressed in stainless and fine wood grips. He carried OWB, high with a FBI cant at about 4 o'clock. The only way it could have drawn more attention as if it had a spinning red light... A few people passed by and could not help but notice it. now, this was long before I got my license so I was not real clear on all the fine print of concealed carry but it did seem like there was a reason they called it "concealed" . A little later I mentioned he was showing and he covered it up. He was fairly indifferent about it. There were people watching him as we left. I think he was fortunate to have the look (and attitude?) of an undercover LEO. I think people just assumed he was legal to open carry.
