You don’t live in MA, lol. Some people will freak out if they see it, cause a scene, call the cops. It’s in the anti playbook to hop up and down and yell “he’s got a gun!” If they see it. While legally speaking it’s not a violation of the law if someone sees it, some cops in MA may still hassle you and you just don’t need the headache. I’m sure that at the pool I take my kids to it would cause a commotion. I don’t know how they feel about it but I’m guessing the best case scenario is they’d ask me not to carry, it wouldn’t surprise me if they terminated my membership. Concealed means concealed, I don’t need or want anyone knowing I’m carrying.
I actually prefer appendix now; try it sometime, you might be surprised.
Yeah the 911 call narrative is gonna be "OMG A GUY WITH A GUN!!1!" and the police response is most likely to be to err on the extreme side of caution and assume mass shooting about to happen rather than "gun owner and father of three getting something off the bottom shelf at Market Basket." Especially inside of 128. Lots of companies have a no guns policy that will get you terminated as well.
