Before I got my permit I carried openly. So my kids knew I was carrying a gun. I also carried around the house. I wanted them to get use to seeing me with a gun on my hip. The reasoning behind this was so that when we were in public it would not be an issue with them telling every person they saw and bringing unwanted attention.

On a second note, it also helped with my wifes uneasyness about me carrying.

Just my thoughts.
