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

I carry everywhere. In MN, I have to be asked to leave, even if a place is posted. I have carried in places that are posted (more than a few) and never been asked to leave. I carry in church.

I don't carry in places where it's illegal. I try to avoid such places. The post office is a legal question-mark. I carry in them.
 
What Locations are unappropriate in your mind to carry concealed ?

Does....not....compute. Unless I'm in someone's home as an invited guest, and they've ASKED me not to carry, and I've decided to agree to that request and stay.
 
I carry everyplace where it is legal for me to do so. If a homeowner/business asks me to not carry, I will comply, but I also probably won't make a return visit there.

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.
Been there, done that, actually.:D

Personally, I have no qualms about carrying anywhere, as I know I am not going to use it recklessly, unsafely, or illegally, so theres no reason for me to have any issue with where I carry. If I am on someone else's private property, and they don't want me to carry for whatever reason, all they have to do is let me know, and I'm more than happy to oblige them by leaving, not to return. Problem solved.

I can think of one , in the shower. ;)

Other than that , anyplace is good to go , have carried at weddings ( including mine )and funerals ( most were shooting buds anyways and I will hopefully be carrying at mine ).
 
I think wedding are more appropriate for open carry but nothing wrong with CCW.

Downhill? I would likely not simply because I percieve a greater danger there of possibly the weapon breaking a bone if I hit the ground hard. Cross country skiing I would say OC of a rifle is more appropriate. In the name of efficiency I would likely not waste weight on a CCW unless there was a good reason.

What makes you say her concern is valid? I see no validity to it whatsoever. Anywhere the number and density of strangers increases, the odds of there being a bad actor among them increases, perhaps exponentially. What's the validity in a view that holds the more likely you are to need a gun, the more you should NOT have one?

The post office is not a legal question mark. Carry in a post office is unlawful. There is no question about it.
 
I'm not comfortable carrying to the gym. I don't want to leave my gun in the locker. And I don't have a small enough gun that I can conceal it beneath my gym clothes.

I don't carry to the dentist. Too uncomfortable to sit in the chair. But if I ever get a purse with a built in holster then I would probably use that.

I haven't been to the Dr. since I got my permit but I don't think that I will carry there either. I'm sure that I could hide it in my clothes but I'm not comfortable with the idea. I think the purse might change this as well.
 
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.

Only if they are assuming responsibility for your safety.

You carry anywhere that you might have cause to need it, ie. anyplace you could be a victim of crime or an animal attack. Anyplace where that can't happen would be an inappropriate place to carry. I'd say that means, you don't need to carry in your coffin. (but I do intend on taking them with me. I'll need at least twelve pallbearers).
 
carry

I used to carry in bars & coffee houses all the time as I was asked by a female friend that that was a singer. I would help her with some ofthe equipment but always had a watchful eye out. Many times I was glad I had the little Sig with me. She would get paid in cash at the end of the evening when the zombies were out!
 
i will carry any place it is legal to - the only places i havent carried are when i'm in my college's buildings and when i'm consuming alcohol. other than that, i have carried at a funeral (i was a pallbearer) and when some people found out (they knew i carried) they were a bit shocked, but wernt offended (it was thier dad that passed too).
 
two places

I would not carry in two places and two places only: private property where the owner requests no guns and a swimming pool. Other than that, it should be legal and acceptable to carry anywhere else.
 


No place should be off limits, including court houses.

FWIW, I don't ski, but carry at all the other places in the OP's list.


 
Questions like this seem weird to me. Let me try to put a perspective on it from past experience.

You see, for a number of years I carried an "EBC" (evil black cellphone issued by .Gov) with a phonebook that contained numbers with which (if I had been so inclined to misuse) I could have called down the wrath of several agencies and caused FAR more havoc than I could have ever achieved with a firearm. Heck I probably could have caused chaos rivaling a series of terrorist attacks if I'd been of really evil intent.

Nobody ever gave that phone a second thought, even when I was asked to borrow it and had to tell them it was a special Gov't phone so I couldn't use it for personal stuff. I mean the question "should I carry this here" just never EVER even came up even though that phone had the potential to be far worse than ANY man-portable weapon system.

I also carried that phone 24/7

(P.S. MAN am I GLAD to be rid of that damned phone!)
 
I carry everywhere it's legal for me to do so.
The only exception I make would be into a person's home whom has already expressed that I don't carry there. I will respect their viewpoint.

oh boy here we go

The nudist camp might be a plase I would not carry.......lol!

maybe a shower the gym(while working out)

At work......its not good business for firefighters to carry guns(the lowend public will see us as the bad guys)

I carry in the dentist's office. I think he'd be surprised if I didn't. I wouldn't carry while doing any of those underwater activities, like showering, swimming, or scuba diving, but there have been plenty of times I've wished I had a firearm on the dive flag float following the ascent.

I don't worry about carrying on private property, or any place that isn't using metal detectors or searches. I'm not going to reveal the firearm, unless necessary, and, if it's necessary to reveal the firearm, I don't really care about anybody else's concerns.

If you don't want me packing, tell me what measures you've taken to keep the zombies out!

I would agree but only if the judge jurry plantiff defendant and spectators are all in seperate compartments of bullet proof glass.

Too many emotional attacks have already happened with knives chairs and fists for the guys that murdered kids and family members. You cant get a fair trial when a lynch mob of 1 is in the room.
 
i carry everywhere where i'm allowed to by law. this includes private business areas, regardless of any signs they put up. in PA, signs have no legal weight, so they can put "NO GUNS" in bright neon lights for all to see, and it wouldn't matter. there isn't a single place where i feel a gun would be an inappropriate object to have; not a church, not chuck e. cheese, not at my in-laws, not anywhere.
 
Why wouldn't I carry anywhere that it would not cause me to be arrested or injured?
