Happy to have another from our small part of town.

I grew up in Sugar Creek. Does that count? :)

I don't understand the concern people have about this. Sure, if you see a gun pointed at you, it's un-nerving. That's natural, but a holstered gun is no more dangerous than a tube of chapstick.
I carry my guns (usually a Glock 19 or 32) at about 1:30, and when I'm sitting down, it's pointed straight at my femoral artery. Should I be concerned? (rhetorical question)

Hmm... With that in mind, now I'm reconsidering whether I want a .380 or a 9mm for pocket carry...

Have a holster, keep nothing else in the pocket with it, and you can carry a howitzer. It is not going to just "go off". Most pocket guns have pretty hefty and/or long trigger pulls too. You don't have to worry.

I'd say that's true, but only when holstering or unholstering. When it's just sitting properly in a proper holster, nobody is at risk.
