Do you carry every time you go out?
We hear, every once in awhile, someone say they don't carry unless they think they will be someplace where it is "likely" they will need it. Well, this guy didn't need it until he got back home.

carry about 80% of the time. Not practical to carry at work. Usually carry out to public places.

Truthfully I almost never carry
My uniform and the work I do makes it very difficult But there has been a gun in my glovebox for over thirty years

I carry at all times. I have even had friend jest me for carrying to church. But look what happened at that church recently. You never know when something bad may happen where you will have to defend yourself or those around you. I would rather be safe than sorry.

Packing
I carry all the time, to work, to church, everywhere. The 1st rule of gunfighting is, have a gun. I was also a Boy Scout & our motto was, Be Prepared. You cannot make an appointment for an emergency. NRA PATRON LIFE MEMBER

The older I get the more cumbersome it gets. |

I have to say "Most of the time" because there are days when I don't.
But one of the big reasons I do carry is simply the return trip into the house. I have always been very much afraid of interrupting a burglary in progress at my house, . . . and would really hate to have that happen and be unarmed also. Most of the days I "don't" also coincide with days someone is at home all day. May God bless, Dwight

as much as I can
I try to carry as much as possible; unfortunately I can't carry to work on a military reservation. Ironic really. But I don't go out for dinner/errands without packing. Likewise with jogging and yardwork.
I used to hate pushing the jogging stroller, until I realized I could ditch the .380 in the belly band for a real gun.

About 2/3 of the time I do, and 2/3 of the time I don't.
Been carrying more since the mall shooting, and the VT massacree. Mostly when with my family. |

I carry when I can, usually out in public. Around the house, I keep a gun close, and when I can't carry, it's in my glovebox.

As to the thread- I can't think of any place I've gone that I haven't carried.
