Are there official guidelines as to what does or does not comply with the first 'C' in CCW?

Bruno, almost all states require it to be concealed. It is considered rude to have your firearm "print" under your clothing. That in itself is not illegal. But it must not be uncovered in an "open carry" situation.
The actual law is thus:
GC 411.171 (3)
"Concealed Handgun" means a handgun, the presence of which is not openly discernible to the ordinary observation of a reasonable person.
