How Often Do You Carry?

Some people--including myself a few years ago--carry only when they think they might encounter a threat.

A friend disabused me of that practice by asking me this question:

Do you wear your seat belt only when you expect to have a collision?

Today was a typical day. I carried a Hellcat in my pocket from the time I left the house for work until I got home and changed into jeans and a flannel shirt. When the Hellcat (or Glock 26) leaves my pants, it is replaced by a Ruger LCR 38 that is on me around the house. 5 rds. of 38 can solve many problems and should suffice until I can get to a Mossburg 500.

Seldom. I have a home business- fabrication and welding. I design and sell a tractor part. Between where I live and my circumstances, as well as my type of work, I almost never carry when I'm at home (which is 90% of my time). I do when I mow (snakes).
I've never been in a gun fight, and likely never will. For me, it's about balance. If I need to carry, I will. If I don't, I won't.
