do you carry at home...part II

[Guest Fenris]

I just mean die on the toilet in general...no matter the cause...put it this way I dont want to get shot while im on the sh*tter "Street Kings" style.

Or "Young Guns".

[Guest Astra900]

If you're gonna go on the toilet, it would be great to go like Danny Glover ALMOST did. Sit down..*CLICK* reality sets in:eek: stand up and

I could think of worse ways to go.

[creeky]

Okay... all this talk about Elvis and Guns has got me wanting to see

"3000 miles to Graceland" again.

[Guest nraforlife]

IF I had a gun I would sure make sure that one was close by at all times, it is getting really strange outside. But seeing as how I sold all my firearms to a Plaxico Burris lookalike down by da'hood, I rely on calling the Dominos guy as they'll at least be by quick enough to be a witness.

[Guest 70below]

All this talk about carrying on the crapper makes me want to run out and patent a holster/toilet paper holder combo unit........It will make me rich like the "Pet Rock"!!!

edit: maybe a Remington 870 with a plunger attachment/stand???

Great movie!

[Guest 153blue]

lol good crapper joke.

[Guest oldhack62]

It doesn't take too many tours of a newspaper these days to realize that danger doesn't stop at the property line. Hell, if everybody respected life and property, there would be no 'bad guys'.

That said, it makes absolutely no sense to arm oneself for self-protection ONLY when going on the street. There just isn't any way to predict where a bad situation will occur, if it happens. If you're going to do a half-assed job of self-defense, why bother at all?

So, yes, I either have a weapon on me or at hand when I'm in the house or yard. In Tennessee, by the way, you don't need a permit for that -- it's part of the 'castle' law.

I always carry when on my property. In the house I always have a firearm with in easy reach.

Here also.

[Guest TN_Mike]

I carry at home. I do not conceal it, I open carry. But, honestly, except for when it is cold out, like now, I open carry most of the time anyway.

But yes, I carry all the time. The only times I do not have a gun on my hip is when sleeping, showering and working out at the gym. And at the gym, I still have one with me....

[Guest Tn.Mitch]

I carry at home,inside and out,I dont have my carry permit yet so thats all I can do,but even if I had it I still would,I allways have...breaking in a new Iwb holster right now.

[Guest Merlin1]

Count me in, I carry at home too.

[Guest jdavis]

i always carry at home, about two years ago while at a friends house i had a guy to knock on the door i opened it and asked him if i could help him, he said his car had broken down and he needed to use the phone we live in a small town and there is few people in our town to worry about so without a thought i said sure come on in, and showed him the phone he made his call argued with someone for a minute and hung up, after the call he turned to me and asked if i had any extra cash that kind of made me leery and i told him sorry no cash, i caught a glimpse of someone else moving around outside at the front door, at this time i was kind of excited and "politely" asked him to leave he got realy nervous and satrted fiddling aound in his pocket i just brushed my cover shirt back and made my carry weapon apparent and he decided that it was time to leave. now i dont know if he or his friend had bad intentions but i wasnt planning on finding out however later i had found out that two men had been caught trying to break into someone elses house about a mile away the next day. that was the closest i have come so far to actually drawing my weapon on another person and was proud to have it with me. so i always have mine with me or within arms reach.

I've always heard that called the Apache Killing Position.

Wow great story. I'm glad everything worked out for you the way it did.

Joe....

You DID do the right thing with those kids. My case was similar, only it was drunk adults and fireworks. I am 6'3" and 250-280...depending on dinner. I called the LEO's as well, do to the fact that most people assume I am ready to fight all the time. I am not!! I repeat...I am not a fighter (well, I am not a bully anyway).

Anywho, after a sober mid-day exchange with said neighbor there was an apology. He is now well aware of my position on my Second Ammendment rights, and my feeling towards flamming balls of colored crap landing on the roof of my house.

[Guest Tn.Mitch]

Allways a Ton of firworks being shot all around the Fourth of July in Hendersonville ...thats for sure...2 weeks before and 2 weeks afterwards LOL...

I OC or CC at home (depends on weather). As my weapon of choice is a S&W J-frame it presents no problem. My bathrobe (usual uniform of the day after 2100) has its own dedicated Bianchi pocket holster in right pocket. At night I have Mossberg Maverick 88 in bed rack and set in cruiser mode so I don't feel need to wear gun to bed. If I didn't take the threat serious, I wouldn't have gone through the money and bother to get a HCP.

Exactly my point.

Sometimes taking the argument OFF YOUR PROPERTY and ON TO ANOTHER'S can reverse your title from good guy to defendant.

It can get complex in a hurry, anyway. Especially when you're out numbered and on their property when the law arrives.

Kids and drunks can change your story and turn it on you really quick.

In both our cases, calling the LEOs was the right thing to do.

Heck, why not put those precious tax dollars to work for yourself.

That's what they're there for...to protect and to serve.

About 25 years ago, while stationed aboard a ship home-ported in Norfolk, I shared a small apartment with a shipmate. We were both E-4's, thus what we could afford to rent was definitely "wrong side of the tracks".

Room-mate answers a knock on the door one evening - the first guy that came through first didn't say a word, just cold-cocked him with a wrench. I had a clear line of sight, standing in the other room, and ducked into the closet to grab a pistol. Maybe had to move three feet. By the time I turned around with the pistol in my hand, the guy was in my face with the wrench cocked back for a strike. After an hour or so (okay, maybe 5 seconds) he and his two buddies decided it wasn't their night and took off, leaving a door with a busted chain, and a groggy room-mate still on the deck.

Why didn't I shoot? The pistol (a real POS .380) was broken. It always stovepiped. I'd have gotten the first one, but his buddies would've killed me.

I swapped that POS (with full disclosure) for a pump shotgun asap.

Do I carry at home? Unless I'm sleeping, drinking or in the shower. Even then there is a shotgun within 15 feet or so.

[Punisher84]

Not necessarily relative to carrying at home, but I thought this was a good video for carry in general.

I carry at home. If I go outside at night I carry a rifle. That said, I live on a good bit of land, surrounded by neighbors that own land. My biggest concern is not two legged assailants, but rattlesnakes and coyotes. Last year, my neighbor beat a 4 foot long rattler to death with a stick. I'm not quite so brave, I'd rather deal with it from a safe distance.
