I had a CCW for a while (it expired and I never went to get it renewed),
and I carried all the time, if you saw me, I was armed.  Only places I
did not carry were places that I was prohibited to by law.  I bought
liquor in liquor stores, conducted business in banks, went to church,
even sitting at my desk at work, even got married, with a pistol on
me.  If I could have carried a gun into the court house (and my license
wasn't expired), I would have gotten divorced while armed, but they
seem to frown on that sort of thing, I couldn't even take my Gerber
Multi-tool into the courthouse.

If somone posted a sign saying I couldn't carry there, I didn't do
business with them.

The reason you carry concealed is so no one knows you are carrying.

If you can't have a poker face, you shouldn't carry, there's just too
much responsibility involved in being armed.
