Anybody have a non-carry Concealed Carry Weapon?

Wasn't exactly sure how to title this, so let me try to explain what I mean ...

When going to the work, I'll frequently toss my stainless steel Taurus M85 snubbie into my briefcase and when I arrive at the office, lock it in my desk drawer. This is in addition to the Kahr MK9 that I would carry on me. Or, when going on a trip (either to the store or someplace else), I'll frequently place the M85 in a strongbox that I have bolted under the seat -- this would be in addition to the S&W3913 that I carry on my person.

I got into the habit of doing this after reading an article by Mas who said that while LEO now normally carry a back-up gun, the idea is just as valid for regular citizens. I don't carry a second "back-up" gun on my person, but I make it a point to have another firearm relatively nearby.

Just curious if anyone else does this and whether you think that it is a good idea or not.

I know a number of people that do but I don't.The only extra that I carry is Buck crosslock.A good tool and weapon if needed.

I nearly always carry a Scrade sp1. Often nuther gun. I can't get a Buck crosslock open, bummer.

Non carry but conceiled, weapons by bed, under drafting table, in refrigerator etc.

Why not carry a back up on your person? A J-frame in a quality ankle rig is relatively easy for a civilian to do as a secondary weapon.
 
I have started carrying in this manner lately. I bought on of those calander/organizer things that has a separate pouch for a pistol. Everyone is carrying those things for work so no one gives mine a second look. I carry a USP 40 compact on my person and a *&* air-lite 32mag in my day planner. I also carry a pocket knife and assorted other items. When I can't carry the day planner it is locked up.

FUD, I also have an extra gun close at hand..
Usually the K9 or Officer's ACP in a holster and the Keltec p-32 in a pocket holster.. If deep concealment is required I'll leave the holster gun in the truck and carry only the P-32.. If my wife is along for the ride we'll usually have yet another pistol for her. Mark / FL
 
I've got my car guns, ones that I stick down between the seats in case of problems while driving...

Normally it's my Beretta 92, but it can also be one of my Smith & Wessons.

Beware the man with the S&W .357 Mag.
Chances are he knows how to use it.
 
Ruger SP-101 on ankle, and at least one good Knife in back pocket.

I don't like leaving a weapon in the car. the car can be stolen and I won't mind. But steal my gun and I won't sleep. Back-up weapons need to be on your person.
 
I agree MP Freeman,
I personally feel that if you are going to have a gun outside, it should be carried on your person. It is too easy to leave a bag, or another concealed carry object by itself. I feel uncomfortable carring a briefcase or shoulder bag with a pistol inside. Someone could grab, cut etc. and make off with it and you are out out of a gun.
In the car a simplex locked safe is good, either bolted down to the floor or fastened to the seat. If I were to carry a bag or breifcase with a gun in it I would keep the loaded magazine on my person. I use a Milt Sparks VM-2 IWB holster - 3913 - 3945 - very concealable.

... It gets toss only in the brief case long enough for me to get it to my desk drawer -- where it gets locked up ...
 
I have carried a back-up in the past, but not as a rule.
I usually have some sort of knife on me, large or small, in addition to what ever firearm I am carrying.

On my off time I carry one gun and a small can of pepper spray. I recommend everybody carry some type of non-lethal force when carrying a handgun. If you end up shooting someone I would make sure the LEOs put in their reports that you were carrying non-lethal force in addition to your firearm. Therefore, when you get to civil and/or criminal court you can rebut an attorney's argument that you were a gun happy nut waiting for the day you could shoot some poor under privledged member of our society. Any little bit helps.
