Exactly! I might not always have it on my hip, but it's always within arms reach.

It has become a way of life.

I believe in Murphy's Law: the one day I leave my guns at home, or locked up while I'm at home, will be the day I need them.

Actually, the incidence of crime toward random strangers has been increasing around here the last several years, so I know the odds of it happening to me are also increasing. Road rage seems to be on the increase. People are frustrated, moreso than before IMO. For some, it only takes an innocent act to set them off.

Plus, I am a loner. If anything happens, it will be me against them since no one else in my family carries. Best case, me against one. Worst case, me against several.

You always hear "dress for success", right?

Right. I always have one on and others close by.

As for my primary, usually Glock-23 or XD9sc, I tend to keep it on my person even around the house as my holsters are just so comfortable.

When I do take the primary off, it remains within arms reach in the room I'm occupying. Plus there's still the LCP in the pocket.

So bottom line... Always two guns immediately available, even at home.

Read the thread: Still think you live rural enough that it won't happen to you?

Bark'n, this is so similar to my regular daily routine I'll just quote your's. Good job.

I think you are on to something there. More better, skin grafts to holster pistols. Wait til the plastic surgeons get a holt of this. We can get a holster augmentation every time we get a bigger gun.

It's either on my belt or within reach 24/7.

archer51 · September 23rd, 2009, 01:37 AM

I always have a gun in hands reach at home. Might not be my EDC but there's one available.

chiefjason · September 23rd, 2009, 01:42 AM

There are times when I leave it on from being out and about. Usually though it's not on me all the time at home. I have 2 young girls so I can still keep it on top of the armoire and keep it away from them. My bedroom armoire is not far from anywhere in my house. Yeah it's kinda small. There's a G19 in a Serpa on my side of the armoire, a keltec P3at on my wife's side, and an 870 with #6 in the closet, cruiser ready.

Always on except in bed and the shower unless I change in to bed clothes early or am sick, then it's by my side... table/desk etc.
