I would not normally put my 2 cents into these conversations as they never really amount to anything helpful....everyone has their opinions and they are rarely changed by someone else's.

There 2 approaches to carrying a firearm. Concealed is exactly that. No one needs to or should know you are carrying until such a time that you need to unconceal it and use it for its intended purpose (i.e., killing a bad guy). Under none other circumstance should ANYONE need to know you are carrying, except if you get pulled over by a police officer. So I can see the point of the OP question....trying to keep a concealed weapon concealed. I feel it is an inherent obligation to CCW permit holders who subscribe to this approach.

The second approach is open carry where you want everyone to know you are armed. In this approach, I feel that you should respect the wishes of those for whom you work for. If someone asks you to not carry in their home, do not carry in their home. If your employer asks you not to carry at work, do not carry at work....or find a new employer. If your cousin does not like to carry at her house for the family BBQ, you can get into a fist fight over it and take her on the Dr. Phil show to hash it out. :)
