I've carried every day for 31+ years. It's such a natural part of my life-style that I would really feel funny without a pistol on or near me. I have no known enemies, live in a decent neighborhood and am not paranoid. I'm a retired police officer who is just vigilant and very protective of those who are around me. Other than my wife & kids (and you fellas on here), nobody knows I carry. I've never printed, flashed or announced when I was out & about that I was armed. It's been something that I tried hard not to ever convey, but after all this time, it's very, very natural now.

I guess to sum all that up in one sentence, I carry everyday and everywhere & it makes me stay vigilant, but in a relaxed & responsible kinda way.
