I started carrying at home, not because I felt particularly threatened, but because I wanted to get used to concealed carry as quickly as possible after I got my permit. By making carry a normal daily activity, I was able to rapidly lose any nervousness I might have had about being spotted, and (I believe) that lack of nervousness minimizes possible tells.

The more I grew accustomed to carrying, the more unusual it began to seem when I didn't carry.

Think of it like immersion study in a foreign language.

On the tactical side, I don't like having guns stashed all over the house. The gun that is on me is always accessible. In the unlikely event of a break-in or invasion, I wouldn't have to race a BG for my weapon, if I were not in the right room, or the right corner of the right room. I would just have to reach for my IWB or pocket holstered gun, while attempting to retreat to better cover and/or concealment.

On the safety side, I don't have to worry about guests, or more specifically their children, finding guns that are locked in my safe - those are secure. The only other gun, on my person, isn't accessible to little fingers.
 
Here in the Land of Sun, I have ever carry at home, even if home invasions weren't, in 80's and 90's, so frequently as now.
Illegal immigration from North Africa and East Europe has improved home invasion not only by "home made mob", but over all by "imported mob", as happened and happens, in U.S.A., at the point that even Mafia (from Sicily region), Camorra (from Campania region), Sacra Corona Unita (from Puglia Region) and Ndrangheta (from Calabria region) can not control this new kind of crimes.
So from home carry Ruger Sp 101 in 357 Magnum (my wife S&W 340 PD Scandium in 357Magnum in a pocket or IWB), now I'm carry Kimber Compact Stainless 45 IWB or jackass holster (my wife glock 26 IWB or Ruger LCP in a pocket).
Also a trained german Boxer works hard in the garden!
"Better a bad lawsuit than a beautiful funeral" as Italian LEOs like to say!
 
Always carry concealed. ..Home Invasions are one of the most popular, and severe crimes commited.
Todays society is becomeing more unstable, desperate, and dangerous to reside in.

Even those folk living in the mountains or deep woods are not that safe.
When a screem or gun fire cannot be heard......Hello!
