From my perspective as having been a LEO, and now a civilian Ccw holder long term:
(And this carries into other topics...as well as this one)
Keep it concealed. No printing when seated from behind or in front or whatever (check yourself PRIOR to going out)...no talking about it, when asked if armed by anyone other than a cop..the answer is no or silence. You don't announce that you are armed to a cop unless asked in a formal contact. You are careful, responsible and aware at all times. If it was concealed, you don't have to worry about cops or anyone seeing it to begin with.
While armed in public, you must exhibit a mature demeanor, be as low key as possible, stay out of any drama, fray or trouble of any kind unless it directly comes to visit you or your family....then deal with it quickly and with your weapon's retention and option in mind. Never let anything fester or someone get the drop on you...never let anyone follow you, or try to push you into improper behavior to reveal your concealed status for any agenda or reason.
Remember you have rights and you have power if you have knowledge. Knowledge comes from reading the actual law text, or case studies or learning from a qualified instructor like Greg.
You also have the advantage of inconspicuous-joe-public-in-the-crowd-nobody... and that is valuable because no one with negative intentions notices you. No one who is suspicious is noticing either....like cops.
