Well, since the cat is already out of the bag, it is important to be respectful yet firm on your beliefs. When my mom in law found out that I was interested in guns, I got the "blood in the streets" speech. I attempted to use facts and figures to convince her....logic doesnt work on emotional people. she knows i carry and its just one of the many topics that dont get brought up when we are around each other. She knows that I carry and I carry around my kids and she just doesnt bring it up.

I look at it as I can be respectful, but be my own person. With most people, out of site out of mind. I would just conceal and call it a day. If THEY bring it up again, address it with facts. After the initial shock of "gun" wears off, things will go back to normal.
