Here’s a question for you, I had to turn down an invitation for a social gathering because I was taking my CC class. The inviter wanted to know what was so important that I refused her invitation. My first mistake, I told her what I was doing. Now every time we are together, if someone new is in the group, she tells them I ‘pack heat’. I’ve asked her not to, but she seems incapable of stopping. I’ve also found out she tells people even if I’m not in the group, but weapons come up. Short of moving, how can I get her to stop telling every one she meets?
Tell her you quit carrying because she wouldn’t keep her mouth shut.
Tell her that security measures are most effective when nobody knows they’re in place. By telling, she makes you both more vulnerable to being jumped.
See my comments above.
Get a new “friend”.
Tell her that it’s against the law to expose one’s concealed weapon without a need to do so, and that she is doing exactly that.
Do you know things about her that she would rather you not mention to people? Do it a few times, and maybe she'll get the point. Failing that, somebody like that is not somebody I would continue to associate with.
Think of information like a bullet: once you shoot it out, there's no calling it back. Treat your firearms-related activities like your sex life -- ain't nobody else's business.

Make a habit of sharing ever more outrageous things about yourself with her. Make sure it’s juicy, scandalous, and only told to her because it’s just a secret between you two.
Have fun with your best new friend, Agent Double-ought-buck.
Carry openly and the problem kinda disappears: if she points it out she looks stupid for pointing out the obvious.
