Yeah, after 26½ years of constant carry, it gets to be a habit. But I taper off to just a little PPK or S&W Centennial in the pocket of my robe when I take a shower. [:D]
(We're chuckling, but when is Trouble most likely to come to your door? Late in the evening, when you're relaxing in your robe?) I always try to have *something* that will help me fight my way to the tritium-sighted, SureFire-equipped XM15-E2S that's under the bed, loaded with real Carl Gustav tungsten-core black-tip.
The last few times I took a plane and had to check our guns in baggage, I felt naked, though I had the 3" razor sharp Spyderco Delica "money-clip" I'd tossed onto the change tray with my bills. Now, after seeing boxes of confiscated nail clippers, I will NOT take an airline. I will NOT be treated that way. [:(!]
Funny, when I'm with a bunch of friends who are all armed to the teeth, I feel safe and relaxed, don't have to worry about harm befalling the kids or anything. Yeah, I guess the "Liberals" would be like to lock me up for that. (As a Libertarian, I am really the "classic liberal." Today's Left are mostly socialist fools.)
If we take seriously our responsibility as Americans and members of the unorganized militia, to "...be at times armed," we darn well should feel naked without a gun.
