Another reason not to mention it:
It's somewhat of an open secret where I work that i'm the "gun guy"
One of my coworkers got into it with a driver that cut him off during lunch.
One of the other passangers says to him, "You never know if he has a gun, that was stupid!"
He replies, "I'm sure [nitrogen] has a gun, so i'm not worried."
The fun part being, we had just come from a "bar" (a place that falls under 51% at any rate) so I was NOT carrying.
I was never sure if he was kidding or not, but I wasn't going to clarify. It's another danger; that others might think you'll be there to "save their bacon".
If that situation in his car HAD gone down, i'd probably have opened my door and ran if possible.

Amazing.
In my mind, I took the conversation to a logical conclusion.
"HEY! THE STATE KNOWS I'M A GOOD CITIZEN, WITH NO FELONY CONVICTIONS, AND NO RECENT MAJOR MISDEMEANORS! I DON'T EVEN USE DRUGS TO EXCESS!" I'M GLAD YOU'RE PROTECTING THE REST OF THE OFFICE FROM A GOOD CITIZEN LIKE ME!!!!"
You should complain next time you see someone with a knife.
I'm somewhat luckier. At my office, people know i'm "the gun guy" and they assume I carry. I'll never confirm or deny it.
