I have a slightly different opinion of this predicament...
Grow an f’ing brain! If you’re carrying a gun and you don’t know it, you’re entirely focused on the wrong things in your life.
I’ve carried almost every day, since I was around 20 years old, either on my person, or in a car, lunchbox, etc. Never, not once, did I not know I was in posession of a firearm. That’s careless, irresponsible, and could get you killed.

A long time ago, I was driving one my kids. He was in a car seat and sleeping in the back. I was listening to something - maybe Rush - and was caught up in it. I looked back to change lanes and a chill went through me because I simply forgot he was there.
When I hear about kids getting fried in Houston, I always wonder if that would have been the case if they were in the front seat. I certainly would not have forgotten about him had he been in the front seat.
It’s easy for one to say they’re perfect and never forget any detail in their life - it’s harder to live that life. Since that day with the kid, I never put in the back seat again (and I disabled the air bags, of course). He lived and grew up, and I never got a ticket - not that I would have cared.
Likewise I could see her having a piece that she may not carry often buried in the bottom of my purse because she went to the play downtown last weekend and figured she needed some defense capability - then forgot about it. Easy to remember if you carry every day - but maybe she doesn’t. Every situation is different.
