Welcome to Texas and as others have said, thanks for your service.
I OC 95% of the time, I CC at church, and places posted 30.07. Most people never notice. They are so SA unaware, or they are so wrapped up in their own business, that they are oblivious. The few people that have noticed have had nothing but positive things to say, or they are curious about obtaining their LTC.

OC may not be for everyone, and if you feel more comfortable CC then, by all means, carry on. After a while, you will completely forget you have a gun.
As for keeping a gun in your car, as another poster mentioned, no one responds to a car alarm, because they go off so often. There are security vehicle boxes you can install that will give another layer of security to your gun in your car, but if given enough to time and expertise, even those can be breached. I wouldn't leave a gun in a vehicle that I couldn't watch, but that's just me.

This forum is a great resource because there are so many people here that have different experiences, that you will be able to find what works for you.
