Although I will not carry if I know there are very young kids present.

Why the disconnect? It seems unreasonable that any risk brought to the table is any more or less justifiable based on age alone. Unless you're often tagged into hide-and-go-seek or pull off some crazy dance moves. But one could logically disarm at that point because of the activities.

Lots of (bad) laws get pushed with "think of the children".

I am uncomfortable while carrying around most small children, they can be clingy and huggy. and to be honest, my normal carry method doesn't have high retention. YMMV

Sounds like you need to rethink your carry method.

I carry because I’m thinking about the safety of the children. Especially when I am carrying concealed as part of my church safety team and my station is the children’s building.

A wise policy. But in connection with a writing group I belong to, I find myself going into people's homes when I have no idea of their position on guns. YMMV, but I see it not as a matter of law but of etiquette not to carry in such cases, though my weapon is often in the car.

Again, YMMV. Make your own call.
