Do you really carry ALL the time?

[Jessie]

I certainly try to, but must admit that there are times when I don't have a firearm on me. It's rare, but it happens. I will say that when it does I do have one in the vehicle though. For what that's worth.
I am trying to fix that and carry all the time. It's a matter of finding the right gun and holster combo that works.
It's not simple. It depends on weather, dress and where you think you may be going.
I've come to realize that if I'm serious about it and don't become complacent, it becomes a habit.
Once it becomes a habit, its strange to be without.
I'm at that point now and will continue until its second nature to be armed.

My gun holds my pants up, really.

So guess the answer here...

and to add, I carry J frame - N frame 4".. a 908- 1006..1911's..

I have fun rotating all my guns into carry... so when I lock the safe leaving in the morning one goes in a holster and in appendix.

It usually pulls mine down a bit. Learned about a good gun belt because of it.

All the time, once I leave the house, every place its legal.

 

[BigCityChief]

No...working in the yard, reading in my study, engaging in quiet time hobbies, I want to be free of the weight and the responsibility.

 

[LimaCharlie]

My government model 1911 and a spare magazine plus my pocket Bug and a spare magazine are carried from the time I get dressed until they go on the nightstand when I go to bed.

I carry IWB in appendix.. a full size gun fits right into the iliac crest and lays next to my junk.. and I can walk a mile and more(which I do daily with my dog) and never need to adjust my pants to signal carrying. I have the cheapest holsters and an $11 Walmart belt.

All the time, just like bigwheel. Will not go into any establishment to spend my money there, if they forbid my carrying.

Yes unless I'm at home ...but there is one within arms reach. Or if I have to drive out of state for work. My office is 5 miles from NJ, 1.5 hrs from NYC and 1hr from Delaware. Occasionally I have to drive to one of those, 99.999% of the time it's NJ. At which point I leave my gun in the office. Of course if I run to the post office I leave my gun in the office too.

If I leave the house I am armed

Well, just now I'm not wearing a gun but there's a 12 ga pump shotgun behind me at my right elbow.

 

[DevilDog72]

The one and only place I do not carry is at work. I work at DFW airport and TSA frowns heavily on firearms on the secured side of the operations area.

 

[Not So Dirty Harry]

I carry all the time either CC or OC with a Smith Revolver.

 

[sawlog]

I carry a model 60 from when I put my jeans on in the morning till they come off at night. every day

 

[gutterman]

I've gotten into the habit of carrying at least in my vehicles.I rarely actually carry on my person but it's always a consideration with all that goes on these days. When I do it's usually my Kimber1911 or a small revolver like the 3" 65 or 3" sp101. My wife frowns on me actually packing because she's always felt that if you have to carry you should'nt be there in the first place. I think she's revising her thoughts in that regard,cause we all know, it doesn't matter where you go anymore. That's a sad state of affairs but it's the truth.

 

[Whitwabit]

Put my blue jeans on in the morning a t-shirt is next then I pick up my 40c in a Garrett Industries GX holster off the night stand and slip it over my belt at 5 o'clock position ..walk out into the kitchen and turn the coffee pot on ..

at about eleven at night I reverse the above only I get the coffee ready for the next morning and the go to bed ..

only time it leaves my hip is the few times I'm in a no gun zone which is usually once a week when I go and do my banking .. or I go to see the grand kids at one of their school concerts .. all 4 are in the band ..

You, my friend, are a lucky man to have the inexpensive work for you. I wish I could.

Me neither.

 

[gman51]

If I go out I am carrying except when going to the post office. At home I have a gun within arms reach most of the time. And yes they are loaded.

You've married a smart lady. She's been right twice.

Unless I'm going somewhere where I can't even have a gun in my car I do not walk out the door unarmed. When I'm at home it's sitting on the coffe table in front of me
