Re: does any carry concealed at prohibited places?

I do best not to carry intentionally into any prohibited places. Sometimes I have caught myself almost about to such a thing. If I would find myself in such a circumstance I would leave immediately and not make anyone aware of it. I would secure the gun in my car (if leaving altogether wasn't warranted).

Once you become comfortable carrying, it becomes second nature to act naturally and you can become complacent of your surroundings (I tend to focus on my situational awareness in terms of threats, escape routes and defensive positions but you should always be aware of your location and the legality of carrying)

However, while I don't encourage doing anything illegal, I have been in situations where common sense and the law differed (not gun related) and common sense won because its was the right thing to do (common sense really saved my skin).

We can go through a million what if scenarios, and conceivabley, although unlikely, there could be situations where you will have to judge the risk of not carrying vs carrying in a prohibited place.

You never no whey you may find yourself in a situation that you didn't plan for and have to choose between the law and saving your self.
