Are you always armed?

[mr surveyor]

hhhmmmm... I didn't see a smiley face

[BuckeyeBlast]

I'm armed 95% of the time. I disarm when I'm in the gym, and last night I left my gun at home for the first time in a long time... I went out and got hammered.

I actually carry around my S&W 342 ti 38 in my gym bag. Keeping it at arms reach while I work out. I'm hopeless - LOL!

That's starting to sound like not buying insurance until you're going to need it. Stuff happens and if you're going where you might need a gun... why?? What about the common sense??

Jus' sayin'.

Some argue that it sounds bad if in court you don't always carry. A case can be made that you were looking for trouble when you carry selectively. Just saying..

[Rainman48314]

Sadly there was a day I would not hesitate to intervene......WE NOW HAVE TO MANY BAD ATTORNEYS that have made me think twice about jumping in.....I don't know if I would? or would not? intervene with my firearm. In today's sad world, you most likely would lose everything defending your actions in a court case for intervening.
Now......if we could get rid of the bad lawyers and judges......the choice would be clear and easy.:4:

Its too easy to blame attorneys. Let's start with the guy who hired them for a questionable lawsuit. Blaming the attorney is no different than blaming the gun or the fork (in Rosie O'Donnel's case). He's just a tool (no pun intended).

I never thought of it that way. Very interesting.
It gives me just one more reason to never go unarmed...at home or out-&-about.

When people ask me why I'm armed all the time my answer is -
I just don't trust my Magic Eight Ball to give me early warning

And just to bring some closure to this thread.......I 'splained my situation to the wife
and she sent me off to Kohl's with a handful of coupons. Just got home
with a couple of new pairs of "Big Boy Pants" to handle my "around the house"
EDC, which for now is my awesome little P380.

Michael-

I knew it was not going to be good when I read "I 'splained to the wife"; that was your mistake, if the wife gets involved the solution is most certainly going to be new pants!!!! what were you expecting?
Oh well a missed opportunity (read excuse) to get another much needed gun.

An email from my buddy:

An Arizona Department of Safety Officer pulled over a pick-up truck owner for a faulty taillight. When the officer approached the driver, the man behind the wheel handed the officer his driver’s license, insurance card and a concealed weapon carry permit.

The officer took all the documents, looked them over and said. "Mr. Smith, I see you have a CCP. Do you have any weapons with you?"

The driver replied, " Yes sir, I have a .357 handgun in a hip holster, a .45 in the glove box and a .22 derringer in my boot."

The officer looked at the driver and asked, "Anything else?"

"Yes sir, I have a Mossberg 500 12 gauge and an AR-15 behind the seat."

The officer asked if the man was driving to or from a shooting range and the man said he wasn't, so the officer bent over and looked into the driver's face and said "Mr. Smith, you're carrying quite a few guns.


May I ask what you are afraid of?

Mr. Smith locked eyes with the officer and calmly answered,
"Not a f***ing thing!"

Good one!

Never fear, where there's an obsession there's always a way......just pulled the trigger on this baby from Davidson's......

I always have at least one knife on me and except while at work, either a 1911 in an IWB or a CW9 in a DeSantis Nemisis in a cargo pocket in my 511s.

[rjt123]

I always have a loaded pistol under my pillow when I sleep, on the nightstand when I'm in bed not sleepin' . Always on my motorbike, always in any cage-vehicle. Always in public, always at home. Always.

One exception being - when I arrive to work in the AM, I take my .45 out of my pocket, it gets locked in my vehicle. When I get off work at the end of the day, it gets unlocked and back in my pocket. That is the only go through the whole unlock the safe routineexception. If allowed to carry at work, I would. If self employed, I would.

+1 on that, CJB. I can't carry at work either, but that's the only time I'm not armed. If I go out for lunch, I'll go through the whole unlock the safe routine. I only recently "woke up" and decided to take responsibility for my own safety...but I'm awake now, and I'm armed.

I think Bud's would be a LOT cheaper than Davidson's. Just saying...Could be wrong...

P32 $237 + FS
P3AT $240 + FS

Depends on what where I am. If I'm out and about in town, I am usually always armed. The only time I'm not is when I'm at work and can't carry inside. I know it doesn't do me any good in the truck, but they have a no weapons policy.

If I'm around the house, most of the time I have it nearby. I used to not do that but I'm getting better.
