Best response is an embarassed/offended look/glare combined with a comment about how it's not polite to point out your colostomy bag.

Q: Why are you carrying a gun?

(I may ask for their LEO identification.) If they answer "No", I ignor the question or answer "No" (whether I am carrying or not). Excellent response, I like it. My grandson (7) outed me to several of his friends and one of the friends mom at a game. The mom said I knew you were a permit instructor, I plan to take my renewal class with you. I was pleased but could have done without her followup, I know your partner from X and really like him. Ok, still a student and my grandson has remembered not to talk about it in public.
