I'm curious what you guys do in a situation like this.
The other day i was helping a girl I know with some things and while driving to the place to pick up the items she asked to go see some birds. Well being a hunter I've always got a pair of bino's so i said oh, i have the binoculars maybe you can see them better and as i reached behind the center console of the truck it dawned on me my CCW gun was next to the bino's. I kind of froze for a minute and she was like oh, where are they? I said look don't freak out I have a ccw and also carry a firearm for work I'm going to grab the binos but there is my handgun right next to them. She said it was fine that she's not afraid of them. She then says please tell me you have a permit and are allowed to have that. I explained i have a ccw and also a police firearms permit. I grab the bino's and she says oh, can i see it and grabs it before i get a word out and its in my holster and i said don't pull it out its loaded! She is looking at it and kind of nervous and accidently points it right at me. I didn't freak out or even say anything to her cause i didn't want to embarrass her or upset her and being in a level 2 holster i felt somewhat comfortable nothing would have happened. (I know I'm a dumb ass). I kind of thought about it for awhile like maybe i should have corrected her but I'm kind of sweet on her and didn't want to be a jerk. This is the second-third time in a month I've had someone do this to me with their weapon or at a store (Each time its either been unloaded or in a holster). and while it irritates me i don't really know how to say something without provoking an issue.
So it gets a little worse. I tell a mutual friend and he says oh, god!! really!! He then asks me if she told me about her brother and i said no. I tell her i didn't know she had a brother and she says oh, yeah, he shot himself. I'm thinking oh, great and apologized for the other day having it and explained i was going to not so great city for a few things and they have been having car jacking's and such and she says well as long as your legal i don't care.
