My wife, immediate family, and some good friends (including my FFL and a few LEOs) know that I carry a weapon.  I will discuss the subject on this Forum, but I think it's better to keep the BGs guessing.

Another +1, Richard.  I keep my carry status even closer to the vest than you.
And I don't put any of those cute decals like "I don't dial 9-1-1" in my windows, either.
I think it was Clint Smith, the proprietor of Thunder Ranch, who came up with the best rationale for carrying a concealed weapon:  "Because it's a lot lighter than carrying a policemen!"

And another +1 with some additions:   +my range personnel and some fellow carriers at the range (that I've seen more than once and engaged in conversation with).  Also no stickers - the 9-1-1 one, NRA, 2nd Amendment, etc.

Also, I wear no gun related shirts or hats either.

Blend is the word.

Another +1 here.  Yes, 'blend' is the perfect word.

But I'm covert in my car ;)
