Trust me, I would know you were carrying a steel J-frame
Don't doubt it. So could I. But only a few of us are trained to look for guns on people. It's amazing how many people just walk around not really "seeing" much of anything.
Back in the old days before CCW permits, "deep" concealment was a bit more important to me. Since I am retired and now a card-carrying good guy, I don't sweat it. My usual mode of dress would give me away more readily than my gun printing to anyone who knew what to look for.
Some years ago (before Katrina and things went to heck down there) I was walking down Bourbon Street in New Orleans and a female NO police officer "bumped" the Leatherman under my shirt. I just grinned at her and said "I left my gun at the hotel. You guys have this place so well covered that I decided I didn't need it". She gave me a big smile in return, thanked me and wished us a good trip. A few months afterward it all got blown/washed away and things apparently haven't been the same since.
