Not only would that be stupid, If you start showing off a concealed firearm, it's no longer concealed and may not be welcome on the owners property.

Agreed. An ex-employee where I work apparently showed his to a cashier to show off (she doesn't know I carry). She started talking about how we should be posted because she doesn't want anyone with a loaded gun to be around her. It's dangerous.
As usual I bit my tongue and some smiling and nodding followed.
That is not the way to win the hearts and minds, not to mention being illegal.
That might have been a great teaching moment. Guns are not dangerous, people are, so a gun is only as dangerous as the person. You could have told here that the person showing off made his gun dangerous, and she was justified in being nervous. However, the other guns carried concealed by the employees here are not dangerous. In fact, they are so not dangerous you didn't even know you were surrounded by them.
