And go figure this - my wife is more adverse to me carrying, just because I can than anything else. Grrrrrr.

It's "conceal carry" for a reason... If you carry often enough without her knowing, whenever she catches you and you tell her how long you've been at it she may be more comforted by that fact. She may be worried about it just because she doesn't want anything to happen to you, or because she doesn't think that it's safe or whatever - but demonstrating that you can safely and discreetly carry may build your credibility in that area (at least to her).

Xaved may be a fresh face (username) here, and not quite done with the CHL 'process' - but he/she nailed it. You get my vote for rookie of the month...
