I was hoping to stay on topic, but am not surprised at the turn this is taking.

I do not disclose if I carry or not. Not anyone's business.
If/when I carry, a weapon is secure on my person, so it doesn't matter if there are kids around or even owner's stand. I carry for my own protection, not to be cool or flashy.

I also don't disclose my religious beliefs or my political stand. It has no affect on the way I perform a job.
As for the dangerous, deadly weapon topic -- guns don't go off by themselves and in proper holster there is no way for it to accidentally discharge. If you hired me to work in your house, I am far more dangerous with a kitchen knife or the screwdriver in the electrical panel (light switch, etc.) than I would be with a gun.

Get into a deadly confrontation with a dirtbag that wants to kill you for what you might have in the back of your van and then tell me how that 4-10 minute police response works out for you.
I am trained, proficient user that carries a weapon for protection, no different than your business, house or car insurance. Rather have it and never need it than need it and not have it.
