Just remembered the time I picked up a S&W from my FFL guys place, A 4"K frame. On the way home I stopped for gas and a soda at the corner gas station. Not wanting to leave it sit in my truck, which I never lock or remove the keys from, I just stuck it in my front pants pocket. The butt was fairly visible. When paying for the soda. The lady at the counter, who knew me as a regular, asked, "Happy to see me or is that a pistol in your pocket?" "Both" I replied, then explained I had just picked it up. She didn't care one bit. Just conversation.
