I carry my 1911 in a Milt Sparks Versa-Max II, horsehide.
I quit checking for my firearm a long time ago. Open carry is legal in PA as well, so I pretty much forget it’s there. If it prints, I don’t care, I’m legal no matter if it’s concealed, printing, or if my shirt rides up over it. I always wear it concealed, but it seems that 99% of people don’t wouldn’t notice a fire engine about to run them down so I don’t worry about it.
It's a bad habit to get into. Yes, you are legal in most areas in PA, but not all.
Do you ever carry into a Post Office? You're not allowed to, and if anybody noticed, then you potentially are in trouble
If you are in Philadelphia and you ever took a shortcut through Independence Park (where they have the Liberty Bell), guess what? It's federal land, and your permit is no good, and if one of the park police notices, then you're in trouble. In PA, you are also not allowed to carry in state parks (unless you are in a vehicle)
It's quite likely that you will find yourself inadvertently carrying into or through some area where you're not supposed to, in which case it would be good for you if your status was not noticed

lol. So true. I carry often and I doubt anyone has ever noticed it is peeked out from under a shirt of printed through one.
