When I'm home, I tend to put the gun in my Smart Carry and wear it outside of my clothes. It's super comfy and I like having it on me rather than near me.

But sometimes I keep the gun within reach instead of on my body.

I stay armed even in the house. I carry an XD .40 service size, but I do downsize when I get home. I put on the Taurus PT-111 in a OWB holster. It's just more comfortable for around the house. It has been a 100% reliable little gun so I trust it. The XD too of course.

The only time a gun isnt within 3 feet of me is when at work (airport), otherwise always armed.

I may take one or two guns off when I get home, but I also keep at least one gun on my person until I retire for the evening.

Generally, it's on me until I turn in. Occasionally, I'll remove it, but it's within arm's reach (ie, if working on the computer).

I'll echo what a lot of others have already stated. From the minute I put my pants on in the morning until I go to bed each night, I'm carrying one of two handguns.

When I go to bed each night I have my G26 on the nightstand. That's my primary SD handgun. My backup SD handgun at home is a Kel-Tec P-11.

I recently had to appear in court for a preliminary hearing. I had to file charges against someone who assaulted me at work. I felt SO vulnerable the entire time I walked from the parking garage to the courthouse. I haven't felt so vulnerable in a long while. I had to leave my trusty G26 in my COM safe in my Ford F-250 pick-up. It's amazing how vulnerable you feel without my SD handgun on you!

If I'm awake I'm carrying!

My wife actually insists that I remain armed when I get home. She has been unnerved by a couple of incidents in our neighborhood... And, we live in a fairly nice neighborhood. My wife also carries, but she puts her handgun away at home, because it is uncomfortable for her to wear.

I usually remove my primary and just leave the LCP in my pocket until bed time. Just in-case a creeper comes callin.
