I'm retired so I only have a gun on me when I leave my house. In the house I have a gun within reach wherever I am.

Simple enough concept, how many hours per day is your EDC on your person?
Or sleep with one loaded under the pillowI don't know but I do wonder
First you know some LEOs are required to a handgun on and off duty? I once carried all 24 hours of one day.
You ever get a legitimate Death Threat? I have and a few of my friends have too.

As long as the pants are on.
From get up to lay down...........Is that enough?
Same thing here. Putting on a gun or two is part of my ritual of getting dressed. When I get undressed at night, it/they come off.
If I’m not carrying one, I’m looking for it wondering where it went. And that’s how it should be.
EDC: 18 hours a day.

EDC How many hours
From the time I get up ever morning and till the time I lay down to go to sleep.

When I get up I get dressed and pistol goes in the holster. It stays there until I get undressed that night. Been that way for 35 years, see no reason to change.
Whenever I am outside the house. 15 minutes to 18+ hours. I primarily carry in a shoulder rig, which works best for me, especially when driving.
Enough that will make any bandit very unhappy if they think they will be messing with a potential victim…

As to EDC, didn't Elmer Keith say that if he had his pants on, he had his M29 on? Seems like a pretty good idea given how fast a home invasion can happen.
I know Jeff Cooper unholstered only if sitting in his easy chair in front of the fireplace or if writing in his office, etc., in which case, his 1911 was within reach to be re-holstered when necessary.
Those two examples probably seem extreme to most folks, but one never knows when the unthinkable will happen. Hopefully never, but you never know.

A great holster makes a big difference.

A holster makes ALL the difference. Lousy holster makes concealment difficult and uncomfortable (so most will forgo carrying). Comfortable holster becomes a part of you, makes carrying easy and comfy. If you’re not comfortable with your CCW, ya need a different holster, different handgun, or both. A little NAA Mini in your pocket beats a $4k 1911 that’s back home every single time.
