Which is why I mentioned CCW. Correct me if I'm wrong but if you have your CCW permit AND open carry is legal the printing and brandishing issues are out the window right? If so, you can CCW w/o the fear that someone catching a glance at your weapon will cause a major issue.
While I pretty much support open carry it's not something I'm interested in.
Typically concealed and open are compartmentalized. If you're open carrying, you can't partially cover it. At least that's how it is up here in WA.
Some states don't (didn't?) allow your gun to be visible at all if during CC. I don't think any were so strict that printing would get you in trouble, but a shirt riding up and showing the grip could do it.
I'm not sure I've ever heard of printing doing it. Shirt riding up...would probably just get attention, not get you in real trouble. As long as you have a CPL.
Open carry is also typically unloaded. Not something I'd want to do.
That was in CA only. (and they'd violate your 4th amendment rights and search the gun.)
