I carry at all times except when sleeping or in the shower. I had a home invasion many years ago (just before FL had a CCW law) where I think the perp followed me home from the grocery store one night due to the car I drove. It almost caught me completely by surprise, but the perp made some noise at my front door a bit before busting the door open. I got a revolver from my nightstand and was returning when he burst into my living room. He only got halfway across my living room when he turned and ran when he saw the gun. If I had not been alerted by the noise I would have been far from a gun and SOL, so now I always carry. I also keep rifles and a shotgun in places at home that I can access quickly.
Right - scatter them around. Fortunately I don’t live in a high crime area (town pop. of 1200) but it’s a tourist town with a state and national park and camp sites so we get folks over from the Seattle area and are lookie-loos; like to come on to people’s property up in the mountains and wander around looking. There are signs regards health concerns should they wander onto our property.
Me too.
I rarely open carry, but only do it for specific reasons {but even then, I have a second gun, concealed.
At home, I'm always within easy reach of some gun, rifle, pistol or shotgun {or all three}.
When driving I always have at least two pistols and several speed loaders very handy and I hope I never have to use any of them, but I would not hesitate for a second if "I feared for my life and I want my lawyer".
Twin brother. I have not published it in FR yet, but had to shoot a guy last summer. Long story (later). Now, some issues with paranoia and some emotional issues. Either leadership in this country starts cracking down on crime or we’re doomed as a nation.
I remember going to the apartment of a friend and he had a handgun in every room including the bathroom. Said he’d be damned if he was taking a dump & had a home invasion.
