Do You Carry at Home?

[daddyo]

Do you carry on your person while at home?

[Erik88]

I voted no because I don't normally but I have occasionally. Even though I don't carry there is always a gun within arms reach.

[Guest Guy N. Cognito]

No my home is secure enough that I will have time to get to a firearm in the event of a threat.

[Chucktshoes]

Most of the time, if I am wearing pants, I am wearing my gun. There is one exception. After I scratched one of the chairs the day we got our new dining room set, the wife decreed that there will be no wearing of guns at the dinner table. My gun usually sits on the back of the couch or on the dining room table while we are eating now.

[Guest cheez]

Most of the time I have a gun on me at the house. If not on my person it is very near. Always on me when doing yard work or in my shop.

[D3vo]

No, but I feel I can get to one quick enough.

[Guest EB31]

Yes

We installed hardwood floor a couple months ago. While on the last couple of rows I needed a mallet that was just out of arms reach behind where I was sitting. I leaned back and scooted along. I had my knife in my pocket and dug a nice gash in my brand new ****ing floor. I have done the same thing to my wife's dining room table chair with a knife before.

I added the bottom two options.

I do not carry at home everyday but i do carry at home.

I carry or have a firearm at arms length at all times in my home. Although I'm not armed with my EDC setup once I walk through the door, generally just a P3AT in my pocket.

[Guest Lester Weevils]

Pistol is in easy reach at home. Will carry outside on the property at night, for instance working in the shop at midnight.

[Fallguy]

I don't always, but usually do so that when I leave the house I don't have to get it then, also mainly so that I know it is secure when the kids/grandkids are around.

[Cherokee Slim]

I'm never more than a step or 2 from a gun in the house or garage. I always have the LCP in my pocket regardless. After all, I live in (near) Chattanooga, the 11th most dangerous city in the United States. We're so proud. I hope it comes with a wall plaque or a trophy or something.

Wearing my g19 as I type. I always have access to a gun except when I am in my office(that sucks and scares the hell out of me). I never work in the yard with a gun and a knife. My family calls me names, but I imagine that will stop if I ever have to defend them.

There do seem to be quite a few Chattanooga home invasion stories in the news nowadays. In "good parts of town".

[Guest TnRebel]

Its not easy to carry in the shower..... so I voted "Not Always but Frequently "

[M1_Garand]

If I am outside the confines of the house, or working on a car in the garage with the door up, I am always carrying. Inside the house I don't carry regularly, although I'm never more than a couple of steps from a loaded handgun or rifle.

I heard Speedo or somebody was making plastic shoulder holsters for Glocks. Just the thing for those pesky water sports.

I take mine in the shower in a Safepacker. I wedge it in between the towel rack and the tile. Fits perfectly.

[Guest rsgillmd]

Now I don't feel so paranoid. After purchasing my gun and getting training I started becoming a little paranoid about leaving my gun on the bedside table when I went to shower. I became concerned that someone would break in while I was in the shower and use my own gun against me. So I started putting it in the linen closet in the bathroom when I went to shower. At least now I know I am not the only one who brings it to the shower.

In general my gun is within easy reach at home, but I don't wear it.

[johnnyvol]

I voted "Not always but frequently" not because I'm concerned about break ins and such, but because of the @#$%%^$ snakes and coyotes. Anytime I'm outside the house (and that's a lot) I'm carrying.

I bought my first handgun due to some very aggressive coyotes a few years back. Can't kill snakes in TN, but me and a rather large rattler met outside my garage door a few weeks ago. Big sticks are always in reach too.

My LCP is too easy not to have on me, no more trouble to carry than a phone. When I am out and about the farm I usually have something larger. My preference most days is my Glock 30SF. Most accurate gun I own.

It is always within arm's reach. Whether that be on the coffee table or on the back of the toilet, covered with a towel, in the bathroom while I'm showering...

[Will Carry]

I don't carry one in bed or the shower. I will carry some of my larger guns around the house.

It's never bothered me that others might think I'm "paranoid". My safety and my family's safety are MY responsibility, 24/7. No one else's.
