I've been rethinking this as I'm a stay at home dad for the summer and my kids are out and about. If I"m outside and someone pulls up to start some trouble or snatch a kid, I'm really not 5 seconds from my house gun, am I. So loaded and started keeping my LCP in my pocket as well as the "front door gun" in the house. Barely know it's there and since I'm not going to school, no reason not to have it on me at all times as a BUG.Originally Posted by ArkhmAsylm

I've only had my CC permit for a few months, but it's radically changed how I carry at home. I felt like I was acting paranoid as I practiced carrying in different holsters around the house, but the more I carry, the more normal it feels. I'm to the point now that I carry 100% of the time I'm not asleep/showering/at church/at my place of employment. Those do take up some significant chunks of my life, obviously, but as my options holster-wise expand, the comfort level also rises quite a bit. I just built my first Kydex holster for my .38 Bodyguard, and it has made it even more comfortable for wearing instead of pocket carry.

I carry about 50% of the time inside my home. If it's not on me, I can literally reach for one.

If I am sitting on the pot it is on the counter next to me.
If I am in the shower it is on the shelf just outside the curtain.
If I am in bed it is on the dresser within arms reach.
Any other time it is on my hip or in my pocket or on my ankle.
Any way you slice it it is in reaching distance.

The doggies do offer that possibility of a few more seconds...don't they?

The thing I realized after getting my LCP was that as light and small as it is, there is really no excuse not to have at least that gun on you at all times. In a pocket, you just don't know it's there. Not like my SP-101 snubby.
I recently ordered a Kydex neck holster for it from Raven Concealment for use during my exercise walks in the neighborhood for times when I'm wearing gym shorts which have no pockets. It had a 16-18 week lead time the first of April so it should be coming anytime soon.

Yes. Always on me or within arms reach (holstered) all the time. Taking out trash, mowing grass, yard work, or sleeping in the lazyboy. Right now the kids are in bed and it is laying on the desk in front of me. Once I go to bed, it is holstered and under my body pillow that I am leaning on. My kids would have to roll my 250 pounds off of it to access it...and I'm a super light sleeper. That's the next best thing to having a IWB holster for my drawers.

I have guns all oven my house. If I am sitting there is a .45 acp within reach of my right hand. If I am in bed there is a .45 on the nightstand and a 12 guage on the wall rack. All are chambered and ready to go.
I attribute my multitude of guns to a good upbringing. My dad operated a small business out of our house when I was growing up. The office was on the kitchen table. One of the salesmen that called on him had a funny comment. He said "The first couple of years I came here I was a little nervous. This is the first house I have ever been in that had a gun in EVERY corner!"

No. Of course not. I get comfortable inside my home. House guns are within easy reach but not strapped to my body. I wouldn't discount the fact that home invasions can happen anywhere but I am fortunate enough not to be living in some post industrial snakepit where they are common place. I'm comfortable with my security procedures.Do you carry at all times inside your home?

The only time I'm not carrying is when I'm in the shower or sleeping but the firearms is always within arms reach
I carry a gun to protect myself & the people I love from the Monsters that roam this earth.
