My ex used to get pissed off at me for having a pistol close by even when I was in the house.
I know quite a few people that do that... they’re sitting on the Lazy Boy watching TV there’s a pistol on the coffee table right next to them, it’s just kind of normal.
Back in the ‘70s I did some electrical for a retired police chief and he always had a pistol on, always. I did electrical for a judge too, same thing.
I'm in PA -- in a low-crime area -- and I can assure you there are a whole lot of people here like that.
