Think about this? (What Places are Inappropriate for Concealed Carry?)

I don't see a problem carrying in any of those places. I personally believe that if you're going to carry, you carry. I never understood why some places are "off limits" and some aren't.

My gun is part of my clothing, and I wouldn't want to be immodestly underdressed. It goes everywhere it's legal.

1st off one shouldn't need a permit. A permit turns a right into a priviledge.

that said: no place should be off limits to carry - open or concealed.

If you buy into the idea that some places should be off limits then you're agreeing with the antis that it is the gun that makes people do evil and not the people carrying the gun.

If you are a woman giving birth, the delivery room may not be an appropriate place to carry.

If you are a mere husband, assisting with that birth, that mght be another matter.

I would say that any privately owned property (be that ownership in the hands of a person or corporation) where the owner has asked that you not carry is inappropriate to do so.

According to my young sister, places with lots of people are inappropriate for carry. After we saw the new Batman together, she found out i had carried and was mildly shocked. After a little beating around the bush, it wasn't that she was against carry, nor did she think it was against any law or policy, she thought it was bad to have a gun amidst such a (very) small crowd. I asked "why? is my gun going to blow up?" and that was all the farther i got. In hindsight, that was not the best answer i could have given; her concern is valid, assuming she had me defending myself in mind. I should have said that i would rather have the gun and not be able to use it (for fear of hitting a bystander), than not have it.

I wouldn't carry in any place where it is okay to be defenseless or unalive. Those places you can go unarmed.

GOD's House, for sure now that I'm a retired LEO; but with the recent
rash of church shooting's, I think GOD would forgive the carrying of a
concealed weapon in his house.

Funeral's- I don't think I would need a firearm while paying my respects.

Wedding's- Questionable? Depends on who might be in attendance.

Baseball and Football Games- most of the time, I have my family with me;
including my four year old grand-daughter. Although, I feel a bit uneasy
'bout doing so; I usually pack heat cuz of who I may encounter while
the festivites are underway.

Amusement Parks- here again, this is family oriented; but thugs and
scumbags are known too frequent these places in my area. No need
in taking any chances~!

if anything its some of the better clothing to carry in

A Wedding ?

Click to expand...

probibly not, not due to wether its "proper" but the fact most weddings include alot of alcohol. and me drinking.

Snow Skiing ?

Click to expand...

again, not conductive to the activity. but thats because i spent 4 years as a ski racer ( yes skin tight suit and all)

I can understand why they arn't such a good idea in a bar... even if it is a right, drinking mixed with guns (concealed or otherwise) is a bad thing.

What Locations are unappropriate in your mind to carry concealed ?

Other than where it's illegal - None!

I would be uncomfortable carrying in any place illegal under any law, or where the property owner/tenent made it clear firearms were not to be brought onto the property. Under these conditions I would not bring a firearm onto said property.

Any place where you plan on consuming alcohol. Anything is possible and it is always the far fetched stories we hear in the news that make us say " I though I had heard of everything until this". Including alcohol period pretty much will eliminate plausible deniability as a defense in a court of law.

I don't carry in bars for the obvious legal and responsible reasons. Don't go to church unless i'm back home for the holidays, but back home is in Maryland, so no carry there. Grandma's house is in MD too, so no dice.
Thankfully, I haven't been to a funeral since I started carrying, but weddings are definitely out due to the alcohol involved.
I do carry while I work out, just keep it in my camelbak for the time being.
And I have to fly to go snow skiing, and to me its not worth the hassle to take a gun on an airplane, so no.

Let me join in the Howl..

1st off one shouldn't need a permit. A permit turns a right into a privilege.

Thats about it. This basically means Work and my girl's mom's house. She has not asked me right out not to carry in her house but I know her well enough that I don't have to ask. I leave it in the car.

I don't carry where legally prohibited. The only two places I don't carry where it is legal to do so are church and the lodge.

...some places just don't seem right to be packing.

If I ever find one, I sure won't go there.

In a MRI imaging room.

On the Tacticalforms.com they have a reference to a LEO having his 1911 pulled out of his hand and upon slamming into the magnetic ring in the MRI machine, discharged. No one hurt, nothing of consequence damaged. They had to turn the machine off to retrieve the weapon.

Although I disagree, I will not carry where it is illegal. If allowed to, I would have my CCW with me everywhere.

Go figure.

If I have on clothes, I am carrying a gun. Having lived somewhere for so long where my only legal self defense option was the modern equivalent of a sharp stick, I am loathe to relinquish my firearm unless forced to. I don't fly, I don't go to the courthouse unless I have to, and I don't visit people who don't want me to carry.

Most places I go, my daughter is with me, and I have a legal, moral and heartfelt duty to protect her to the best of my ability. Carrying a gun enhances that ability.

I carry regardless of my surroundings. I don't drink to excess, and a beer or two does not impair me significantly, nor does it render my life less worthy than if I were sober.

Weddings? Seems I read something in the paper a few months back about a wedding where several people were shot. Church? Same thing.

I would hate to be in a "safe" place, and have something occur which caused me to reach for my gun that was at home in the safe. Of course, I don't go places where I think I might need my firearm, but I don't expect to need my car insurance, either.

No place should be off limits.

vI can understand why they arn't such a good idea in a bar... even if it is a right, drinking mixed with guns (concealed or otherwise) is a bad thing.

What if you're the designated driver and not drinking? Bar carry is no big deal where legal.
