How to get more Americans CC'ing

From mine, and other members past experience, letting people in on our 'little secret' tends to end badly. Either a 'friend' is more likely to get into a confrontation because he knows you carry or a co-worker finds out and next thing you know your employee handbook is changed. Often enough, after one person that you 'trust' knows, everybody knows, including people you would have never told on your own.

I'm all for furthering concealed carry, but just make sure the people you allow into your circle of trust truly belong there.
I concur. I told exactly 2 people when I started to carry:

1. my wife (no explanation necessary)
2. a co-worker who sits next to me. We'd gone shooting together a couple of times. He's ex-military and has expressed interest in getting his permit.

Next thing I know, other people from work are coming up to me saying "I can't believe you have a GUN on you bla, bla, bla".

Circle of trust - broken
willingness to share - gone.
