I started being armed with a sidearm as much as possible starting at age 14 in 1990. I have been a Colorado CCW permit holder for 20 years this June. Nowadays, the number of hours per week I am disarmed is extremely limited, usually only related to work travel in anti-2A states or school functions. I don't follow "policy" restrictions promoted by open to the public facilities such as malls or movie theaters. In urban threat areas, I pocket carry 95+% of the time, usually something in the NAA Mini/Beretta 950 through K-frame snub/P239 size range. I also usually have a NAA Mini for a BUG.
