I echo the general sentiment. I have no reservations about carrying around any children -- or even carrying a gun on my person while holding other people's babies, for that matter. The few people whom I've told that I carry are very appreciative; the rest are clueless.

The way I see it, carrying is part of who I am. If they trust their kids to be around me, then my gun is part of the deal. They trust me to be safe around their kids; I know that it is safe. That is sufficient.

Someone up there mentioned being afraid of getting found out through hugs. I was, too; I probably get dozens of hugs every week at church alone. But I have discovered that only a small percentage of people actually touch where my gun is -- and I believe nobody has realized what they were touching. I once had a friend (who is in on the secret) test it out. She knew exactly where it was and tried to feel it but couldn't. She was pretty surprised. =)
