Do you worry about people knowing you are carrying? (Printing)

I've carried full size for the last two decades and the last decade I've open carried or not cared about printing if concealed. I've been in anti gun areas for meetings and not a word has been said and we usually get the work.

I live in a Detroit suburb so I should be dead according to all the experts/FUDDs, because as they say I'll be the first one killed. lol

No, not at all. I carry pretty much everywhere. Despite hospital 'rules', I carry under scrubs, in the OR, in Procedure rooms, and my office needless to say.

Yes I do,cause I would like it to be a complete surprise wheni have to deploy my weapon.

It seems that your hospital has "no guns" rules. If you get made by someone who's anti, or has an axe to grind, or just a scared cat, it will go to the hospital administration. Depending on the politics and dynamics, you may not lose privileges or employment or both, depending what your specific deal is, but if I were to be a betting man, I'd bet that you'll be sent out of there pretty quickly. When you started to look for new place to work, you would need to disclose the reasons for loss of privileges. And even if you didn't, their credentialing and admin will do their due diligence and they will find out. I am pretty sure though that you could always find some rundown facility in a bum**** village that would be happy to hire any warm body, including a person with a hospital gun policy violation on their record.
Obviously, I am nobody to tell you what to do in your life but just posting stuff like this on an open forum makes me wonder if you thought all consequences through well enough.

Nope.

I would only worry if I had to carry in a non-permissive environment. But, most people are so distracted and unaware that they wouldn't notice printing anyway. Moreover carrying a cellphone on the belt is common so most would think cell phone.
Now people like the ones who post here do notice and I have spotted poorly concealed pistols on many occasions.

"Worry"? No. I do try to minimize printing. I rarely open carry but once in a while I do in my local rural community.

No, I take reasonable steps to conceal well, but after carrying for 10+ years, a slight print or whatnot is of zero concern.

Sure, there are situations to take things more seriously (professional meeting, specific events, etc) which I would / do take more diligence or carry a small weapon but those are by far the exception to the rule.

Summer I carry IWB and as of a couple of winters ago, OWB when it's cold out.

Nobody cares or notices.

I honestly couldn't care less. I think too many people get wrapped up in trying to find the smallest, most "concealable" gun ever, when in reality a dude could shove an Uzi in his pants and walk through Wal-Mart and few if any people would notice.
