TAM, I expect disagreements with posts, that's why there is a forum. If everybody agreed it would be a pretty boring place. I understand that some people have different concerns and conditions that they need to consider and adjust accordingly. I speak to a lot of people who disarm as soon as they arrived home and we have bantered about the reasoning behind it. It seems that for the most part it was comfort related which is why I stated what I did in my first post on this topic. Many have made adjustments and now carry all times in the house, ultimately it is up to the individual to decide, I just point out the obvious which many have not really thought about.

The holsters that I use for my 2 primary carry guns (Ruger LCR 357 & Sig P938) became invisible to me after a short period of time and I tend to stay rather active doing various projects. I guess some consider these pocket guns as well, both are carried IWB at 1:00. A friend regularly claims that I carry where the girls do. This allows me to not have to stay in condition yellow when at home. Should something happen I do not have to walk any steps to have the tool that may be required to defuse a situation.

To each their own.............

I always have wondered why some people tend not to carry when at home then ask about a gun for a quick run to the store. From my perspective the most valuable things in my life is who I live with and would want to protect them as much as possible, especially when at home. Not carrying at home the same way one would when going out to a "less secure" place seems very concerning to me. My handgun is on me from the time I step out of the shower until I get in bed at night, no exceptions. It does not matter what I am doing, cutting the lawn, crawling under the Jeep etc. I do not ever want to scramble to get a firearm and the only scramble would be to grab a shotgun if needed while the pistol is still in my hand as the first line of defense. The most important item is the holster even more so than the actual handgun. If it is not comfortable as a package under all situations one may be involved in during daily activities then they will not carry often. This basically equates to deciding when they would need a gun for protection and when they would not.
