I carry a pistol most of the time I'm outside but didn't used to while in the house. About 3 years ago, I moved my sleeping area to the basement. Up to this point, my bedroom where I stashed my carry pistol was at the back corner of the main floor-a natural retreat point. Soon after the shift, I realized that I now had no firearms on the main floor of my house and the basement stairway door is right next to the most accessible and nearly always unlocked back door. With this in mind, I started packing while in the house. I feel this is better than stashing a gun somewhere in the back part of the house and then having to remember to remove it when little people come to visit.
