Given all the threats being circulated about ISIS attacks here in the states, do you conceal carry?

I did when I was stationed out in AZ, but now I can't because I moved to the stupid state of NJ. I still carry when in my home state of PA though.

I voted yes. I don't conceal carry at the moment because I need a gun that is more suited than my Glock 17 for concealed carry, probably a Glock 42 or the new 43 and a good IWB holster (probably Alien Gear), but I do have a CWP (Concealed Weapons Permit) because I WILL carry concealed one of these days.

I'm in Idaho now. Very rural with lots of critters trying to get at your chickens. There's a high percentage of folk who carry all the time. Open carry is completely legal. Lots of concealed permits around too. Interesting enough, Idaho shut the Feds out on "accessories" including suppressors which if made in Idaho and owned by a resident within the borders is legal too. The Feds will bite you if you take it out of state.

I can't wait to carry a gun on my hip and go looking for bad guys. Maybe I'll get me a medal! I'll be all like "I got you, Osama Bin Laden!!" Pew pew pew pew pew.

Historically yes, now no. The difference is that I am not working on post every day. Where it is prohibited....

If a person told you whether or not they carried concealed, would that not defeat the purpose?

The idea is the WEAPON is concealed,,, so sure if your talking with a group of folks in the ice cream shop and you tell them YOU ARE CARRYING A CONCEALED WEAPON, then your point is valid.
There is no need or reason to not openly discuss the rights of, methods for, reason to carry a concealed weapon. Its not a state secret.. it is just a tool, non victims carry with them out of sight.

Meh. You never know who might be eavesdropping on the hypothetical convo in the ice cream shop.
I tend to err on the side of caution, and unless I know you personally and well enough to trust you, you don't need to know diddly about my methods, caliber, clock position, etc.
Perhaps I'm just a paranoid hyper-vigilant veteran, but so be it.

I do not, as a rule, ever reveal the fact that I carry. It is not something that anyone has a need to know.

I don't but I probably should. Not because ISIS, but I live in downtown where in the last month there have been 4 fatal shootings within a 4 mile radius of me.
In fact the only time I have been close to real gun fire was in a bar on 7 June 2012 when two thugs decided to have it out OK Coral style across the street with two civilian M-16 type weapons. The "victim" if you want to call him that who was fired on first, but managed to get off one shot before dying of a fatal wound with half his off. However, that shot went into the bar I was in, we were on the floor behind the bar on the phone with 911. There still is the bullet hole on the wall in that bar to this day.
