You should expect to be arrested by police at gunpoint, and be charged with a crime anytime your concealed handgun is seen by another citizen in public, regardless of how unintentional, innocent, or justified the situation might seem.
You won't be arrested down here if you are not a felon. You will, however, have a very embarrassing confrontation with the police (the severity of which will depend on when and where you are), and you will be asked to leave the premises.
It is not a crime to carry a weapon in the open down here although it is unusual to see one.
I have gone to a restaurant with my family. Forgotten that I was carrying on my belt (it is warm down here most of the year so I usually carry in an ankle holster unless I have a suit on), removed my coat when we sat down to eat. I only realized that I had done this when I went to the restroom and while washing my hands I saw it in the mirror. No one said a word.
I went back and finished my meal.
It also is not that unusual for someone to be armed down here; sort of like putting on your socks.
