I put it (Sig P239 SAS .40) on when I get dressed in the morning and take it off when I get undressed before bed. A different gun sleeps beside me at night (S&W M&P .40).

 

Same here but mines a Glock 23.

 

I just leave it on my belt until I change pants, which is every other day or so. If I am not carrying at home due to the end of the night or not feeling like getting dressed yet or whatever, I place my gun in my safe and leave my pants by the bed, because my wife loves it when I do that. Right now I am enjoying a couple beers (ok, ok, more than a couple) so my gun is in the safe, my pants are laying next to the bed and I just have regular sweat pants on. But my holster is still attached to my belt.

If I disarm out in public when entering a no-carry zone I just take the gun out of the holster and leave the holster on. Too much messing around with taking a holster off and putting it back on. I get back in, slide my gun in the holster and go on with life.

Pretty sure it is legal to carry in your home without a CHL. I suggest doing that until your permit arrives. It will get you used to the weight and carrying a gun with a chambered round. I am sure many of us did that before our permit got here.

 

When?...MMMMmmmmmmmmm?

only when I'm not wearing pants...no choice then! (Well, almost!):danceban:

There are several nearby when I'm sleeping, and always one on me when I'm awake...usually another by any door...and several others scattered around the house. (No kids to worry about!):smile:

Stay alert...stay safe!

if my belt is on my jeans, so is my holster. When I'm in for the evening my holster remains in place but my firearm is within reach.

 

It depends. While sleeping I have a compact 9 mm in a *** bag- along with a knife, light, and spare mag (sort of like a mini Bug out bag), So, if I happened to be carrying that gun, it will often go in the bag as soon as I get home. Of course, the fanny pack is next to me anyway, so it is at hand if I need it. If I had one of the other guns on it will usually stay on until 8:30 or so. That's when I usually take a shower, and that is one place I don't feel the need to be armed.

 

I take it off when i knwo im not going anywhere else ..

The old lady made me a custom holster job that hangs on my easy chair when i stroll to different parts of house i carry gun with me if there is not one in that part of the house

 

I put it on at the same time I get dressed in the morning.

When I go to bed, I take the gun out of my holster and put it into the fanny pack which lives in a lockbox near my bed. Also in the fanny pack is a spare magazine, a cell phone, and a flashlight. Bedroom door gets locked, so the lockbox can safely be left closed but unlocked while I sleep. If I get up in the middle of the night, I either grab the fanny pack or lock the lockbox before leaving the room, depending on the circumstances.

In the morning, I move the gun back into my daytime holster as I get dressed.

In addition to bedtime, I have to take it off and place it in an oil-cloth that lays on my bathroom vanity while I shower.

Norman Bates will gain no tactical advantage in my home!

 

When I get home and not going back out. But sometimes still carry j-frame in pocket.

 

Normally my rig stays put on my belt which is on current pants - and EDC becomes floor oriented for the night time. So basically, never comes off as such.

Exception would be as per a wedding a few weeks ago - where it was hot plus and so I had just a formal shirt - then rig off and R9 lived in pocket.

 

usually once I am headed for bed. Sometimes I just carry the pistol around and set it next to me though, if dressed in bed time clothes.

 

I put it on when I get dressed in the morning and take it off when I get undressed before bed.

That's about it, for me. Too may local home invasions to be concerned with being parted for too long.

 

I only take it off when I go to bed or when I do yardwork. The weapon sleeps beside me at "night".

 

If I change clothes to some thing beltless like gym shorts when I get home, the leather holster comes off, but the gun stays around, either in a fanny pack or a smartcarry. At bedtime, it goes in the nightstand next to the bed. Next morning, its back on the belt.

 

Once I get home from work. The house is smallish, and a short distance to the firearm no matter where I am in the house. Add to that, my BUG is almost always in the pocket or on the bar between the kitchen and living room.

 

Since I have started to carry I have changed my dress habits. I never wear anything that does not have a belt whether around the house or out. When I get up in the morning depending on weather I put on jean shorts or jeans with P239 in K&D paddle holster. When I dress for work in Dockers or if special dress pants I move the P239 to my K&D Cochise Defender IWB. That stays on until I come home for the evening and then I change back to jeans and paddle holster. When I go to bed the P239 goes on the nightstand.

There are times when because of dress I have to make do with the Kel-Tec P32, but they are few.

 

Off only when I am at work, sometimes in the house (but close by), and sleeping... and again... close by... I'd carry at work but is seems carrying on an ambulance is not allowed...lol :bier:

 

I take mine off whenever I get home (if I'm going to be there for a while) at which point it becomes my "beside the door" gun. I have another one that's my "next to the computer gun" (it's about 12" from my hand as I speak...er, type); and one more that's my "in the bedroom" gun.

 

When I get home lock the door behind me mainly because I don't really sleep and I watch too much tv from the couch. I've got my tactical gear where I can reach with in seconds.

 

When I get home gun comes off, tac-light/laser mounts up, stay ready, so there is no need to get ready!

 

When I get off duty, G23 goes in fobus paddle.

 

When I go to bed. Gun is locked up, ammo and mag stored in a separate locked container, and my Remington 870 sits next to my bed ready to go, if needed.

 

Goes on when I put my pants on, comes off when I take my pants off... and gun goes directly on the nightstand, because that means I'm going to bed.

 

1. When I am going to bed.
2. If I am going to have a couple drinks to get silly (very rare).
3. When I go fencing (it really doesn't work well with the form fitting white uniform).
4. Swimming

For laying around the house in shorts I will usually resort to a model 60 S&W in a SmartCarry. To many home invasions in the region to not be preparred.

 

I don't usually wear a holster because I'm working all the time. When I am, it's when I get home. While I'm working a gun is usually just exchanged for a different one or moved from place to place. Can't carry at work so my .45 goes into my case from my house, then transferred into my car. When I come off work it goes from the car to the case, back into the house, then around my house it's available and so is my 9mm.

During the week while I'm working the 9mm is in an IWB holster in the safe and the .45 is in an Uncle Mike's holster with a laser sight. When I get days off or I'm on vacation time the .45 goes into it's IWB holster and I wear one or the other, or both.

Cheers.
