I carry full time, but my situation is a little different than some.
What about security preventing bad people from doing bad things somewhere big? This year I went to the season opener for the Houston Texans. Good game, LOTS of security, which included off-duty HPD to take care of big problems the unarmed security couldn't handle. I was physically frisked by a security guard going into the game. The security guard literally bumped over my pistol and didn't notice. I was thinking I was going to have to show credentials to the HPD officer sitting about 15ft behind the security guard, but the guard didn't even catch my pistol.
What else on what other people did those security guards miss?
In October I went to the State Fair. There they have security guards with wands (metal detectors) searching all who enter. I flashed a badge and the guard didn't stop to check any credentials or anyone with me! Anyone can buy a badge. The guard didn't even check to see if the badge said something stupid or wasn't real! In cases like that, credentials matter more than a piece of metal.
If I'm a "good guy" and I was able to easily "sneak" weapons in to these places (where I can legally carry), what about the bad people who are determined to do harm?

I was carrying on the way to a concert once and got wanded at the front gate. They didn't have signs up and was expecting verbal notice and to have to go leave the gun in the car. But the wand never squawked. Really made me wonder about their security.

When it comes to security, people get what they pay for. If they pay $30-50 an hour for off duty officers, then you get a certain level of response. If you're paying $8-10 for none-tcleose security, well, you get $8 worth of security!

I was going to suggest the average was less than 5%. Probably less than 1% that carry ALL the time, some that don't ever carry, and some (like me) that carry 5-10% of the time.
I know people that have recently gotten a CHL solely so they can go through the express security line at the state capitol.
