I rarely carry inside my house, only because I have little kids that jump on me, and I don't want to have to explain why I have a gun on (haven't gone through that discussion yet nor am I quite ready- kids are 6 and 4 and while they know I have guns, I ask them not to discuss it outside the house). However, if I am outside my house, in the yard, especially at night when I am working on cars or something, I usually carry- we have bears, coyotes, and you never know if a non friendly visitor stops in. We had a few drug deals in my safe rural neighborhood, and I feel better safe with my EDC than sorry if I need it...
