    Default How private?

    You guys are so nice and helpful here. Thanks!

    So...how private do you keep the fact that you carry? How many people know? Just your family and a few close friends? Everybody you go out with? Nobody but your spouse? Nobody, period?

    Just curious. I assume maybe it depends on personality and reason for carrying....

    I will talk guns with just about anyone. I don't advertise that I am carrying. But I also do not try to hid it.

    I have nothing to hide. I normally carry openly so anyone who sees me will know I carry. All my family knows I carry, and damn near every relative of mine also carries a gun. All my friends know I carry, so do my neighbors.

    I'm a person of the 'old school. With exception to certain events or surroundings I believe that carrying concealed is the act of cowards, assassins, and men of nefarious intentions. ..that gentlemen carry openly and afford others foreknowledge that I am armed and prepared to defend myself.

    I don't make any attempt to hide it. I carry OWB (Outside the WaistBand, IWB being Inside the WaistBand) and don't worry about if its covered or not. Summer its OC (Open Carry) and spring/fall/winter its a mix of OC/CC (Concealed Carry) depending on whether or not I have my jacket on, whether I'm wearing a button shirt as a jacket, etc.
    Please help my Baby Kitties and I avoid being homeless.

    Only friends and family but I don't hide the fact that I carry if noticed and I always CC since I don't want someone to know until I have to draw.

    being that I still live at home, my mother isn't too happy with me carrying, so I don't tell her when I am, she knows I obviously won't take it to work or anything like that. But she still worries, like mothers do

    Other then that, my GF knows and some close friends. That's about it
