Do you carry every time you go out?

as much as I can

I try to carry as much as possible; unfortunately I can't carry to work on a military reservation. Ironic really. But I don't go out for dinner/errands without packing. Likewise with jogging and yardwork.

I used to hate pushing the jogging stroller, until I realized I could ditch the .380 in the belly band for a real gun.:D
 
About 2/3 of the time I do, and 2/3 of the time I don't.:confused:

Been carrying more since the mall shooting, and the VT massacree.;)

Mostly when with my family.:cool:
 
I carry when I can, usually out in public. Around the house, I keep a gun close, and when I can't carry, it's in my glovebox.

I always thought that was odd also. The years I spent in the barracks- I swear they even questioned fellers about what their intentions were with tool kits or tool boxes. Granted, I saw a great number of soldiers who had absolutely no business with a firearm- but we all weren't cut of that cloth. It has always been my firm belief that firearms should not be made to seem so (foreign, odd, strange, mysterious, dangerous whatever word fits). That's why there are so many ND's (me thinks)- because some folks are too scared of the thing to use their full faculties of common and safe sense.

As to the thread- I can't think of any place I've gone that I haven't carried.
 
Carry every time?

Yep, even carried a couple of times when I was going places that said "NO GUNS". Haven't had a problem yet, but then I'm willing to have a problem if it is required. :eek:
Sorry I'm not a law breaker normally, but a couple of times it's happened with out my knowledge that I've carried where I wasn't supposed to. Like Malls or such that don't get my business any more.:(
 
Does it really matter?

It's easy - even asinine - to moralize about the legality of carrying at those "NO GUNS" locations. [Shooter 973, like in your case, such places "don't get my business any more" either.] What places could be "holier" than churches? Yet, churches are NOT immune from encounters wherein guns could serve lifesaving [and thus soul-saving] purposes.

What's wrong with a decent, responsible citizen carrying a gun CONCEALED?
 
I don't carry often. In my state (Florida) you can't carry in places like bars, post offices, federal, state, local government buildings, schools, etc.
 
I carry 50% of the time I'm out of the house. I work at a federal installation and it is bad juju to get caught at the guard shack carrying. They do random auto and wand searches, so I'm on the road a big part of every day "naked".

I carry *legally of course) each time I leave the my property (10 acres 10 miles from town). I also carry most of the time around my land. Sidearm only weighs a couple of pounds, and the only times I have wished for a sidearm were the times I didn't have one.
 
Yep.

I'm in the Army. Can't carry on post.

Any other time I carry wherever it is legal, and in most places where they have a reasonable gray area, too.

I won't do anything blatantly illegal, but shootings happen in the strangest places anymore, and I (and those around me) will not be helpless.
 
"Do you carry every time you go out?"

Yes, unless I plan on drinking in advance, a rare (5-10 times a year) event these days.
 
Silly Wabbit...

Do you go into a public restroom and NOT wash your hands on the way out? EEK!

...No, we don't need any Larry Craig jokes...:p

I carry it when I go to get my mail...and everywhere else. Ever heard of being attacked by a dog or a mugger when getting the mail? It can happen.
 
No, I find myself ending up at a friends house having a few beers often, so I don't carry at night much. The gun only comes out for daytime errands, or mall trips. The one time I always carry at night is when I go see a movie. To think of a bunch of people caged like rats with some crazy guy or a terrorist armed with hi-cap mags walking in scares me. It's a perfect spot to kill a lot of people.
 
The *only* time I don't is at home, and even then I have it on my about half the time.

I have been bowling a lot lately. It really scares me to think how population dense it can be in a place like that with very few exits. Heck, maybe I'd just run and do the slip-n-slide down the lane and scramble out the pinsetter.:p
 
I can not carry at work and I use facilities on Ft. Campbell, KY and they is no carry there and a couple of other places. I try my best to stay within the law.

A little rant, the U.S. Military/government is the most anti-gun/anti-self defense organization I can think of! I know, I am retired ARMY and find it so retarded, no not retarded just stupid!

Crap runs downhill. They start at the top (govt. employees/contractors) and work their way down to every-day Americans and public.

I am sure one day all of America will be "gun free" .... well, for the law-abiding citizens anyway.
 
Can't carry at work but I'll carry about 80% of the time after working hours. The possibility of coming home to an intruder has me considering keeping my gun locked in my car even if it is on company property. :barf:
