Many, not all, states allow you to conceal carry while dropping kids off at school or day care.

Similiarly, living near a park should be fine. Going for a casual walk is not, but you should be fine in your car coming and going.

I'd rather carry legally than be caught carrying illegally.

Here in Georgia, I cannot even enter a place that serves alcohol. Some are trying to change this. So if I want to go into a place for lunch that happens to serve beer, I either get to disarm in public, carry illegally, or carry off body, leaving my weapon behind.

Your decision, but even with the inconvieniences, I'd rather be carrying legally when the situation allows.
