The gun is there to serve me, not vice versa. When I want to do something that excludes the gun, I leave it behind.
What about risky activities, you may ask? If something is so risky that I don't feel safe doing it without a firearm then I don't do it at all unless there is absolutely no other choice.
I don't use my carry gun as an excuse to do things I wouldn't do otherwise nor as a reason to not do things I want to do.
