Do you disarm when you get home?

When you get home from work do take off your sidearm or do you wear it until you go to bed?

This all depends on what holster I'm wearing, and for how long. If I need a break, and plan on being home a while, my EDC may come out for some fresh air. But most of the time it's within reach even then.

Crime reports show that 100% of home invasions happen at home. I carry from the time I get dressed in the morning, until I undress and go to bed. Having my gun on my hip makes it accessible no matter where I am in the house.

I carry 17/7, assuming I sleep 6 1/2 hours and take a 1/2 hour shower every day.

Well, since getting a Ruger LCP, it's always in my pocket. At home or away.

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?

It sits next to me, wherever I am in the house. Arms reach.

Nope, don't disarm.

I usually put on my holster and gun when I get dressed in the morning and take it off when I get ready for bed.

Tonight was different because I had to coach soccer practice. I disarmed before going to practice and have not put it back on tonight. Most soccer practice evenings I will put it back on when I get home.

Grady,
I belive you have holsters grafted to your skin. I never knew anyone that carried so many gun at one time.
