There are essentially two facets to the OP's dilema.
(1) He is serious about exercising his constitutionally guaranteed right to bear his holstered handgun. "Bearing" infers carrying openly displayed in public - not hidden.
(2) The disarmament mentality that is ever-present in "civilized" society argues that being passive (sheeply) incourages passivity ( sheepliness), which in turn produces peace.
Unfortunately, that premise doesn't hold water. Cemetaries are filled with the advocates of passivity.
The visible presence of a peacefully holstered firearm worn in a nonthreatening mannner will deter opportunistic predatory criminal behavior.
I was 43 when I first started carrying a handgun routinely, and that was illegal in Texas at that time. Under Arizona law it is legal. That being the case Mom & Dad need to respect the law, and their son's adult status.
