I am armed even when I go to nearby Grocery Store. You must always be prepared to protect yourself and your family.

Absolutely. The wife looks at me askance when I pack when we go to, say, Sam's Club. I tell her that it's only a precaution; trouble can strike anywhere and one must be ready.

My wife would be shocked if I wasn’t armed.

I would be shocked if she wasn’t as well.
