Good for you being in wonderful rural area. Been there - wish I’d never left. When I lived in the mountains most everyone carried either on person or close by (in the truck).
I live in the city now and I carry as well, even in my yard, but I’m not typically packing inside the house (it’s a girl thing). Having a loaded gun hidden in every room means I don’t have to fight my way to a firearm.
If you do not have kids then that works well! Good on you!
