I enjoyed reading all the responses, I have had a few "life lesson" experiences that convinced me decades ago that I needed to be armed all the time. I either carry or it is within arms length whenever I am home. I live in a very low crime area but that said it is very, very rural as in nearest neighbor is 1/2 mile away and my house in in a forest, one way in one way out. When I step out the door I am armed. My wife of 41 years is so used to my ways nothing would surprise her. We don't tell each other what to do, never have. I don't tell anybody I am armed but I have been teaching CCW for 25 years so I would assume most people who know me would think I am armed. I was raised this way, I raised my boys this way. I really like the old expression "A gun is like a parachute, if you ever need it and you don't have it, you most likely won't ever need it again." I was lucky those decades ago, I was armed. I pray there won't be another event....but I will always be ready.
