CCP: What happens if...

Okay, so I'm not a LEO. Presuming that you 'think' you have concealed your pistol on your person, what happens if someone (another citizen) spots your carry 1911, especially if you're in a *very* public place.

I'd carry more often, however, I *am* afraid of having joe shmoe or jane shmoe cry out that "HEY - he has a gun!" phrase.

Now in some places this could induce panic or a riot - in which, correct me if I'm wrong, then this could bring a hefty $$$ fine on my part.

(Okay, so I've been to McDonald's where several feds hang out. They are in suits wearing their SIG's on a pancake holster - very proudly I might add. No one says a thing. So, is this possibly an over-reaction on my part?)

Just for the record, whenever I carry my 1911, I make sure it's damn secure and very well hidden.

Is this just a fear that we all have accept when we carry?


Thanks

Just another good reason (though not the most important) to have open carry legal everywhere. In places where it is - no one gasps, points, panics or anything else. Oh - except the tourists.

And of course you don't get those insolent stares and gestures from street thugs etc. They give you a *wide* berth and generally only quick glances.

Of course fear and panic is what politicians want these days more than ever. Otherwise - who has any use for a government who's "protection" (implied only and not codified at all) is not needed?
