As long as it's legal, I'm carrying. Might be a .22wmr mini revolver, might be a 1911 in .45acp, or it might be something in-between. As long as there is a 2nd Amendment, I'm exercising my right to carry.

Two cases come to mind.
One, Lucky Dude was having an affair with Jealous Guy's wife. JG follows LD home, LD parks in space reserved for apartment 32c, JG walks up to 32c and kills occupant. (LD lived in 41d, but knew 32c had no car, so he parked in that space because it was closer to his apartment.)
Two, Money Bags hires Hapless Hitman to kill the attorney representing his soon to be ex wife. HH follows attorney to work, notes where he parks Black Luxury Sedan on 3d floor of parking garage, follows attorney around decides parking garage is place to kill attorney. Returns to 2d floor of garage and stakes out BLS one floor under and one space over from attorney's. HH kills owner of wrong car.
Just seen too much to believe anyplace is totally safe.

Call the nice folks at Davenport Guns in Davenport Iowa (Free America), last time I was there they had a whole line of "carry underwear" men and womens briefs and undershirts with various carry options built in. I don't remember the brand name.

What if we defined "armed" as having a weapon within "arms length"?

That is what those little metal baskets that hang from the showerhead are for...
Well, Arik is probably pretty close to right. I have a very light (11 ounces unloaded) M340 PD, and in its pocket holster, it is easy to forget that I'm carrying. I put it in my pocket when I get dressed in the morning, and take it out when I get ready for bed at night. There are places where I'm not allowed by law to carry, and I try to accommodate their wishes as much as possible. Especially if they actually have metal detectors and folks manning them, and check everyone. But this is pretty rare where I live.
So "most of the time" is probably an honest answer, partly because it's easier to carry all day than to keep taking the gun in and out of my pocket!!
Best Regards, Les

I neither violate Federal Law, nor see any reason to visit Federal Facilities.

A 70 year old man in Chicago was knocked to the ground and shot while mowing his lawn. A US Senator was knocked to the ground and six ribs broken by a neighbor, while mowing the lawn.
I do take exception to carrying while in the shower, but mowing, carrying out the garbage or just sitting on my porch, and anywhere legal - armed! My pajamas don't have a belt, but in a pinch, I have a shoulder holster handy (open carry is not permitted here)

First rule is 'Have a gun'
I own mouse guns to hand cannons, so I don't have any excuses for not having something on me that goes bang.

So he has 'massive legal consequences to enforce it' - how about his 'legal consequences' should he have to deal with a robbery and /or injury or death of an employee ?
Never carry in the house...
...or whilst mowing the grass, washing the cars, playing golf, etc.
That said, have carried at some point nearly every day since 1975. However, I didn't carry in Mexico, on a cruise, in Canada, the Czech Republic, Australia, or Merry Olde England just last summer.
Nor will I be carrying during my upcoming motorcycle ride from Miami to Key West (and stay there) followed immediately by a flight to Las Vegas and a few days there.
I don't conduct my day-to-day activities any differently whether carrying or not carrying.
BTW, have lived more than half my life in big cities: DC, Boston, and New York City. Same personal 'rules' there.
Be safe.

Also living in MA and with significant expertise in MA gun laws, I'll answer that. MA law makes it a felony to have any gun unsecured unless it is under your control at all times. So it is illegal to leave it on a table near you if you walk away without taking it with you. What constitutes "under your control" is intentionally left up to the police and DA to interpret when they arrest/prosecute you in front of judges that are almost 100% anti-2A.

Don't carry in a post office or a court house and my kids are no longer in school so I do not have any reason to be on school property , any other place and time I am carrying . I don't have a gun IN the shower but when I'm in it the access door o the room is locked and I can reach a m60 without leaving the shower or opening the shower door .

I carry only when visiting kids and grand kids in larger cities such as the Twin Cities and Sioux Falls. The town I live in is so safe that one time we were gone for 3 days and didn't notice that the overhead garage door went back up after we left. It was wide open for the whole time and nothing was touched including power tools, bikes, lawn mower, snow blower etc.

And the only thing that was different was that Pastor Ingqvist had dropped off a bushel of Sweet Corn.
AFAIK, LenS is regarded as THE expert on MA gun law.
Hope that you get better quickly.
