My question is,

"Why do you EVER detach your primary weapon from your body?!?"

Because of the child issue the only loaded guns in the house are the ones strapped to my or my wife's person. These guns only come off when we are asleep or in the shower.

If you're not comfortable watching the game while wearing your gun, how can you be comfortable with it while at work/play?

Remember what (almost) happened to Christian Slater in the movie "Kuffs"... I do NOT want to be running around the house, dodging bullets from an MP5 muttering "gun, gun, where'd I leave the gun!"
