Ryan, first off I will say that you are allowed to take a firearm with you if you are flying, you just can't have it on your person. It isn't too much of an extra hassle, either (for me it hasn't been).
And as far as friends seeing you carrying all I have is my own experiences. I am in college, and have recently turned 21 and gotten my Texas CHL. Many of my friends know that I carry, but not all. When I am with friends and giving a hug by or something and someone who doesn't know I am carrying feels my gun they do get a puzzled look for a second and usually ask what it is. Most everyone I hang out with know me well, so it isn't a big deal for me to tell them that I am carrying. It always ends up the same; with them saying, "oh okay". In my main group of friends there are two of us that carry. Our friends have actually said that they feel safer knowing that we carry almost everywhere that we go.
