IMO it's a very personal thing. I certainly don't carry all the time, and I also hope I guess right.
I think you have to do what's comfortable for you. IME a lot of people just like to bray on preaching self righteous, pacifistic PC BS just to hear themselves talk, or feel better about themselves for berating you.
You may want to consider limiting how much time you spend with certain sanctimonious relatives, what social events are worth it to you to attend disarmed, and whether your current friends are up to your standards anymore
at this point. If they feel the need to push their disarming philosophies to you, are you willing to accept the limits and pressure they put upon you?.
Two important points I have to agree with which keep being repeated in this thread- Concealed means concealed, and just let the subject die. You're not going to win any arguments with unreasonable people.
OTOH, I wouldn't let on I carry, in general. If told I couldn't carry in someone's home, or to a certain event, I might seek an invite where I was generally more accepted or welcome. If it was important enough to me, or there was drinking involved, I'd probably leave the gun locked up, anyway.
