Carry, either carry 24/7 where legal for you. Or don't carry at all.

But for Day in Day out all day, the risk that I accept by carrying did not in my mind out weigh the risk that I was trying to counter. After all, my goal was to make my family and myself safer. Would 24/7 carry make them and I safer or increase our exposure to risk?
When ever you have in your possession and control of a device that if mishandled can cause harm or death, there is a level of inherent risk. Training and conscientious safe gun handling practices and rituals can greatly mitigate that risk but not eliminate it completely. It only takes one brain fart or moment of complacency. Have you ever ran a red light or pulled out in front of another vehicle? Or dropped a cup of coffee in your lap?
My question. Do you advocate carrying all the time or only when you perceive an elevated threat level?
A friend, got me to perhaps rethink my carry posture.
Currently I rarely Carry.

When to carry?

Sorry, but this indicates very limited reasoning. Taking this form of logic to its inevitable conclusion:I think that the OP's question contains some excellent analysis.
There are downsides to carrying. You can't, for example, have an accidental discharge if you don't carry a firearm.
