Moving on-

Agape,

I think the more I OC in new places the less it becomes OC or CC, it's just carrying. Luckily in Georgia and Tennessee I don't have to worry about someone seeing my weapon as much as I would in a state that doesn't allow OCing. The last time I was in Florida I was really self conscious about printing and I tend to watch it more in Alabama.
I think the few times I've OCed in a mall maybe a couple of people have visibly noticed.
For the most part people are very focused on what they are doing (usually a little too focused IMO). They're talking or texting or worrying about what they are wearing or what everyone else is wearing.
Being a married man I often times get to walk around malls/stores while my wife shops for things I'm not the least interested in and it amazes me at the lack of awareness that most people display. I can't count the number of times I've had to chase someone down to give them their wallet/keys/cellphone that they laid down and didn't notice when they walked off.
If you want to have some fun go to a mall on a Saturday (OK, I was stretching it when I said fun) and find a comfortable seat. Watch everyone for an hour. You'll be amazed at what little people notice. The first time I did this was in high school for a assignment. It can be quite entertaining and enlightening, if a little depressing.
