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

Nudest camp?

Other than that, "don't ask, don't tell" works fine for me unless I'm going to be searched.

I can think of only two places not appropriate carry, legal or not. There may be others:

1) the secure area of a prison where the prisoners are
2) a room containing an MRI machine

There certainly are other places where it's a pain, like scuba diving, or where you must take extra precautions, like amusement park tilt-a-whirls. Boxing and wrestling participation also comes to mind, but I have better sense than all these things, so I choose not to worry about it.

What Locations are [inappropriate] in your mind to carry concealed ? Even though you have a permit where is somewhere you may not feel right packing your iron. I know some places are not permitted like federal buildings ect., I am talking about legal places you may find uncomfortable with a gun in your pocket.

MRI room (good thought), around violent prisoners, where I have to disrobe and can't maintain access to the weapon (swimming). If I planned on drinking more than one beer at a bar I would not carry. I would respect the owner's directive to disarm before entering his property, if I decided it was worth the risk.

The only place I don't carry is where it is illegal to do so.

Although I felt odd the first few times I carried to church; it's now routine.

I believe no place should be off limits but I follow the law as best I can.

As if anybody could even afford to carry the guns you sell online, concealed or otherwise.

Now that is funny. And appropriate. For some of us there are more than one.

If you really have to think about whether it is appropriate or not you probably shouldn't be carrying there even if legal.

My favorate applied word in civilian life is practical. Is it practical. In church, yes. And recently the threat there has increase substantially.

While playing football in a pickup game, no. Just a quick example. This isn't Brain Surgery. Don't be paranoid, be practical. Here on the HighRoad, we are the chorus for CCW for the most part.

I don't like, NOT, having my Colt at my side, but sometimes I either don't have a choice, or I would not want to have it with me for my own personal reasons, most often legal reasons. Like at the VA, or if I must go to the Court House etc.

Many of my friends who don't shoot, now say they feel better when I am around. Many of those same folks 20 years ago used make fun of my always carrying accusing me of being paranoid. What they don't know is I had been carrying since 1976, when I got out of the Corps. Obviously not with a permit in those days. But I lived in Arizona, where if you behaved appropriately even LEO's were fairly tolerent.

Today, I carry with a CCW, and pretty much follow the letter of the law. Many Cops and prosecuters today no longer have a sense of humor. And a majority of them are not from Arizona, bringing many of their predjudices from those unfree states. So I try not to cross John Law.

Go figure.
