I have big windows and ALWAYS leave them open on the main floors (day and night). Could someone be peeking in? Yeah.

When I was a kid, we had a two-bedroom house for a family of seven. My room was in the basement. No windows. Very little light. No view. I love my property and the grounds. I always leave the windows open. It's an issue from where/how I grew up.

I'll take the risk. I am not going to let "preparedness" leave me living like a demented hermit.

I also don't usually carry at home. Personally, I like being prepared, but I also like to relax. I am busy enough with my three jobs and outside activities. Could a home invader catch me off-guard? Sure.

I could also walk outside with my pistola on my hip and dozens of rounds of SD ammo only to have an attacker take me off-guard from behind a tree and slay me on the spot.

You make your choices, and accept the consequences.

I typically take it off my person when I get home. If I am doing yard work or something, it goes on with my change of clothes. If I am doing general house stuff it normally sits on the coffee table to keep it close by in case of unexpected visitors. If I head to the basement for an extended period, I do carry it down there with me though.

Compared to most of you, I'm new to the CC world. I've had my permit for nearly 2 years, bought an EDC about a year ago, and finally got a nice IWB holster about 6 months ago. I've carried about every day since, but I'm still not 24/7. When I get home and change out of my work clothes, I'll usually disarm and lock it up at the same time. If I go out later that night, I'll typically re-arm, but not always.

I'm getting there...

Right on!

I am carrying 24/7/365 unless I'm showering or I'm somewhere where it's illegal to carry.

The MAIN reason I carry is for home defense.

Shove the 638 in my jammies and it lays on the table when I sleep and the Mossy is always close while sleeping.

When I get home from work, thats when I arm myself. Can't carry at work and since I drive a Motorcyle, I can't secure the gun

I carry my G23 when I get home from work since I can not carry while at work (Military Base)

I carry my EDC (G26) at home as long as I am in my street clothes. When I slip into my sweats, the LCP goes in the pocket and the G26 is within reach. My 642 is nearby as well..
