That's the one I have but I'm not all that thrilled with it.

When I was younger if my children were not welcome - neither was I.
Now that I am older if my little ones are not welcome - neither am I.

I carry as much as I can. I carry to work, but keep it in my toolbox because I crawl around on the floor too much working on machines. (Heavy Machinery Mechanic, Loaders, Backhoes, Excavators)

Unfortunately with where I work and the shift I work, I only carry 50% of the time. The parking lot bill will alleviate the issue of traveling back and forth to work unarmed. Hopefully it will pass this session.

Same here.

I don't know if it's just me, but I feel that the amount of brazen violent crime has increased over the past few years. So as many on this site have said, "24/7 or guess right."

However I have a mattress holster so I have it within reach while in bed too, right next to the shotgun. I guess the only time I don't carry is in the shower but I have heard glocks can handle H20 so maybe I need to get one + a waterproof holster and then it truly would be 24/7.

Carry always when possible. I have to keep it stored in my car at work but it is 14 seconds away from a sitting position in my office to in my hand ( I timed it). When at home I often get teased by the family for carrying in the house but they are never negative about it. It is so normal to carry that I have accidentally gone into prohibited places without thinking about it.

Right now I'm only carrying during the weekends. I haven't figured out a way to carry in my work uniform yet. Once I figure that out it will be 24/7.. All I do during the work week is go to work and go home, no stops inbetween, if I go on a service call or whatever it's never more than 10 feet from me.. Feels like I'm "missing" something when I'm not carrying, I'll take care of that pretty soon.

So you're a lifeguard, right?

If I'm dressed I'm armed.

Looks like I'm the only one so far. I can carry at work but, it must be concealed. I carry inside if I know I'm not going to be doing the type of work that will expose my hand gun. I mostly have a gun in my car if I know I'm not going to go into a plant. I almost always have a gun on me if I am not working. I always have a gun on me if I'm with my family.

I would've said 24/7 until reading this thread.

I don't carry in the house or yard and I have a big yard.

Maybe I ought to reconsider...?

Home invasions... Big, angry, mean dogs finding their way into your yard...

XD Compact 45 or XD 9mm at work or anytime when I'm fully dressed, LCP or Taurus 851 while at home in shorts and t-shirt, sometimes a NAA Mini WMR on a lanyard around my neck if I'm really going light around the house. The only time I have trouble is when I'm on a motorcycle, I wear full PPE and carrying isn't a problem, but getting to it would be, not to mention the problems gloves present. I'm still working on that one.

Same here. Frustrating to say the least since I have to drive through and work in South Houston.
