    how often do you carry?

    I'm self employed for my main income , the farm is my second income/job and my night job is at a shooting Academy so I never ever leave my house of walk around the property unarmed. If I gotta go somewhere like court I have a lock box bolted to the truck. If I have to go to my daughters school I park in the park n ride and walk in the only two places I go except post office and I park across the street lock them up. Point is if I'm awake I'm armed how bout ya'll?

    We have constitutional carry in this state which doesn't apply to me at work....being an employee of the state government that only makes sense right.

    Chances are if I'm not at work I have something on me.

    Armed 24-7 unless going into restricted zone, Court House, P.O., Hospital, V.A., but even then the cane is with me and makes a nice defensive weapon against most threats.

    Pants off it is at arms reach.

    100% off the property where I live, about 50/50 on the property, if I am working outside, I carry, inside the house it goes by the nightstand and there are others placed in spots where we spend most indoor time, computer desk, office, etc. I still have an under the bench top mount for a Mossberg 500A that used to reside there when my shop was open to the public. These days it stays leaned in a closet that is easy to reach with 8rds in the mag and an empty chamber. I don't think I am being paranoid, but you can NEVER be TOO prepared!

    My rule of thumb is if I'm not naked or in scrubs I carry. Scrubs won't support the weight of a gun and guns are banned most places you wear scrubs anyway.

    That is a question one civilized person does not ask of another. IMHO The answer is my own business as would be anyone that I will not ask right.

    None of your flippin' business. Just don't cross me.............or you may find out!

    This is nothing to brag or feel proud about. Do what you feel you have to, but do not advertise it to the world.

    I carry about 75% of the time that I am not at home. If it is not on me it is usually within reach.

    just because I am paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after me!!! LOL
    If you see me assumed I am Armed
    Don't know the statistics as to what % (very low I imagine)of CCW holders have had to use their weapon but
    Not Bragging just a mind set the 1 time you need it and don't have it is 1 time to many

    I don't go anywhere without my sidearm unless it's into a restricted building.

    It's not a matter of IF I am armed, but rather a matter of HOW. And not even my girlfriend of several years knows all the details of the HOW, so if she doesn't get to know, neither does anyone else.
    I passed my last psych eval, how bout you?

    Unless I have to go through a metal detector, the odds are I'm probably carrying.

    Guess I'm not civilized up to your standards, but if you get upset and snappy and out of shape.with a question on a form I don't think you should carry a gun.
