I am non-LE but carry daily and have for years.
That's ..... nice for you.

I try to spot carriers and the airport/airline procedures that identify the LEO's with firearms. I send the info to my buddy. I send it not to "out them" but to help them. I figure if I can spot them, the really well trained bad guys can. I want them hidden in plain sight.
There are no "really well trained bad guys". It's essentially a myth. If there were then planes would be falling out of the sky all over the US because there is also, effectively, no real security on US carriers inside the US.
