If I had to carry at home I think I'd move. I live in a small gated community with a significant police presence; I have a German Shepherd and an 8' fence. The most dangerous thing I've seen in the past 10 years was a 125lb Chinese deliver boy driving a Honda Civic.
When I leave the house, I carry everywhere I go. |

I carry my regular CCW until it's time to get out of my street clothes and into something more comfy. Which seems to be earlier and earlier in the day as I get older. After that I either put the gun in a Smart Carry or just carry it around in the belt holster in my hand. It's rarely out of arm's reach.
I don't believe in letting my carry/HD pistol get out of my direct control unless it's locked up, I'm kind of anal about it.

I keep a gun on at all times. I have different guns for home carry than EDC. My EDC guns are a Glock 23, or 27. Home carry guns are the guns I carry as BUG's, my airweight .38 SW, or my PF9. Light enough they don't make my gym shorts fall off when I'm lounging at home, keeps a gun on me, and I always have a long gun in the room, as well as one of my Glocks, or 1911. I keep my SW 686+ .357 in a cheapo Uncle Mike's thumbreak holster under my pillow, next to the glasses case I keep my glasses in at night. The house is the most likely place you'll need your gun, assuming in public you are alert in your surroundings, and avoid situations/places a gun might need to be used. Wife? Kids? Nope, live alone. |

I probably asked this question before, but how many ready firearms are enough? On active duty the military issued us arms for guard or patrol duties. The most I carried at one time was a revolver & a GAU or an 870. I can't remember leaving any of those around on a desk or behind a door. The military required long guns to be within arms reach at all times. Any side arm needed to be in its holster attached you your web belt unless you were using the latrine. I try to keep to that standard to prevent accidents & also to keep a close eye on maintenance of the weapons. As far as carry all the time I do. At home it could be what I carry outside of the house, or more than likely my NAA .22 lr revolver. Any gun is better than no gun.

I don't.
Last two places I lived I was normally armed when home, gun in my rollaway in the garage when I was out there, gun under the headboard, another in the nightstand when in bed. Had a couple of "run ins" with some shady people coming onto my property unannounced and unwelcome. Proximity and possibly reputation being the cause (house was on a busy street and from what I gather the previous occupant has some drug involvement). Here, shoot, I think it has been a few weeks since ANY of my guns came out of the safe and that was because the cops were looking for an ADW suspect a few blocks over. Was months before that since any guns were out. Pretty much been relegated to poser status as far as guns go. Yeah, I know, false sense of security and all that. Just don't feel the need to, combined with the nieces and nephew being over more, state ban on OC, etc. |
