There is a very shot list of folks outside of my immediate family (and some shooting buddies here on the board) that know i carry. Among them are my pastor and some LEO's at church. This was a strategic issue as I didn't want them shooting me if something happened at church. Even some of my family doesn't know. Not because they are anti's or anything like that - it is because they have no NEED to know.

Now you didn't have to go and call people "stupid".

I agree with Yellowfin, I talk openly with most everyone about my CCW. I also believe we need to "normalize" the idea of CCW so we do not need to be secretive about exercising a right.
I am of the belief that ccw permits are in fact a violation of the consitution and that we need not have the "rice paper" in order to exercise this right.
I am also aware that in order to stay out of prison I need to get that "rice paper.
