Every day and every where. And when at home it is always close at hand.

I carry everyday. At home I have a at least one gun in every room, and one in my truck. I am not a crazy Dale Gribble type, just try to be prepared.

Family and friends sometimes ridicule me too, someday I might have to use a gun to save myself or family/friends. Then they'll thank me for all that "paranoia."

Every day every hour its within arms reach or on me. Its loaded whenever on me. I unloaded it at night, because I do not want a good dream ending with me waking up to having shot a gun. I'm sure it would never happen, but it does not hurt to add an extra cognitive action of cocking the slide when your sleepish. I'd take one into the shower, but I can't figure out how to keep the rust out ;)

I carry every day all day. Although at first I'd only carry when I thought I might need it. Honestly who knows when they will get in a gunfight or get mugged? Part of the reason i'd leave my gun at home was ridicule from friends or family.

They'd laugh at the thought of needing a gun to run errands on a sunday afternoon, or to bring it to a get-together at a friends house. I've always seem too get over involved with my interest, was I getting to paranoid? After all I'm not a cop or ex military just an Eagle scout who try's to stay prepared.

Now I know some of you say always carry never tell, but you can't always hide it from hug-hungry grandmothers and nosy friends. Like I said , now I always carry and try my damnedest to keep my carry low key.
Anyone else had to deal with similar problems or thoughts on such subject?
To quickly answer your question, 'Is a frog's ass watertight?' As far as laughing and ridicule from family, I laugh right back followed by an extremely indignant, "You mean you're not carrying too?"

I carry everywhere but at work, where firearms are not allowed on the property. Because of this, I try to avoid stopping anywhere going to or from work. I can't imagine going anywhere else unarmed. My family knows that I carry, which is no problem since they're all pro-gun.

Does the "drop safety", "firing pin safety" and "trigger safety" count? :icon_wink:

I carry all the time except at work and were strickly prohibited, it does create some criticsem among some that are close but most are understanding. I have been carring for 5 years.
