Turned 40 this week, forgot my CCW twice

[St Michael]

What is it about turning 40?!?

I've had my CCW for six years, and never once "forgot" my pistol.

I turned forty on Tuesday, and twice this week I've arrived at my office, only to find I left my G27 at home on the nightstand!

Coincidence? Anyone else ever "forget" to pack your piece before leaving home in the morning? (Now I'm getting paranoid about this turning forty thing.)

Yeah i have done it and also had to turn around because i realized my Permit was in my work van and not in my pocket opps ... I just turned 30 last nov so it does happen ..

Also its really bad when you leave with holster on and spare Ammo and no Gun

I actually have to remember to NOT bring it everywhere I go... almost walked in the building the other day. I would have looked really funny to an observer as I stretched out my arm to open the door and then immediately turned back LOL.

I just turned 69 and, let me tell you, it doesn't get much better. Gettin' old just ain't for sissies

Yes, I left mine on the nightstand on the day the cleaning service lady came. Freaked her out, she called my wife and asked her what to do. Peg said just leave it there, he already missed it I'm sure. Went home at lunch and got it.

Wait til 50, won't get any better. By the way, I turned 50 today.

Have forgotten my permit , but never my gun.

I found that when I was washing up in bathroom and put my carry weapon under a small table out of sight. I would almost everytime leave the room and find later I only had the empty holster for protection.

What I now do is lay the weapon on floor so it's always in sight. This has worked for me.

Not yet. 56 yr old. Have had to take the wife hers several times. Like Rocky, I realized one day I did not have my billfold. OOPS. If my pants are on my pistol is on.

Shame on you Brian!!! Eternal shame! Small point tho - was it safe from being got at?

Hey - this ''40'' thing - no excuse (where is the flagellation smilie!). Does not wash - go write 500 times - ''I must never go out without my piece''

I must admit - if I did take mine on and off - I daresay at near 61 I too could forget it. However - my dedication is 16/7 and it is always on my side - that way I cannot forget and should it ever be required no chance of reaching down to an empty rig!!

Let the piece be like a wristwatch - on in morn' - off at night

Oh and FrontSight - Happy Birthday to you Sir!

So far I have not fogotten my gun. I do feel strange without it and I hate when I travel to other states that don't allow me to carry.

Happy birthday Frontsight! Gettin older is always better then the alternative!

[QKShooter]

As long as you don't ever forget where you put it!

Just be sure not to forget your pants.
