Okay, for whatever reason, it is possible that someone wonders if you are carrying or not. For some who are less inhibited, or maybe a friend who knows you participate in shooting sports, they may just come out and ask you:
"Are you carrying?"
What would be your three best creative answers that would best defuse the situation without answering the question directly?

Wow, that completely depends on who is asking and how they are asking.
For example my wife has, in certain situations, (crossing a BIG, VERY dark store parking lot at night) asked me. In that case she gets a simple, reassuring answer.
Asked by a business owner once, my reply was "Yes, is there a problem?"
On the other hand I had a friend of a friend who seemed to think it was all a big joke to loudly ask me if I was "packin' today" when we were out in various public places. I finally got fed up one afternoon and the conversation went like this.
Him: "Hey man, you PACKIN' today?" (snide tone used loudly and in public)
Me: (in my best condescending tone) "Hey man, you stopped beating your wife yet?
If memory serves that was pretty much the last time he chose to talk to me.
