Good topic, however irresolvable. Tomorrow I will meet friends in a public place with which I am not familiar, so I'll carry. The only debate in my mind would have been whether to carry my wife's super-light Smith 351C in .22WMR or my stainless .380 PPK, both holding seven rounds of Critical Defense.
Because there is no known threat and no history of bad actors where we are going, I probably will take the Smith because it is a good bit lighter. My decision always is situational. Should I be going to a similar type place 50 miles away, where they live, I'd probably carry the Walther. If I were going to a place near them that has a dicey reputation, I probably would arm myself with a big semi-auto and wear an appropriate concealed-carry garment.
It all depends on the situation. That said, I carry maybe 10% of the time. Too old to get satisfaction from pure macho issues, but to be fair I live in a well-armed and very low-crime area - perps know they are less likely to leave alive.
