Stephen,
Why do you carry a gun most of the time? Are you concerned for the safety of you and your family? A police officer? A concerned citizen? Do you live / work in a high crime area?
Yeah...I don't live in a high crime area, but, I am out and about during the day meeting with clients in different venues. The reason I carry a gun is because I got used to it, just like carrying my wallet, and now I just put it on whenever I leave the house. I spend some time learning how to draw quickly from concealment, so, now that I formed the carrying habit and have the ability to actually USE the gun should I ever need to, I just find I would rather have it than not.
I see it almost as...why do you wear a helmet? Just in case...right?
Yeah, so, I just read this thread again, and I realized that I probably come off sounding like a freak! LOL. I am actually a nice guy, obviously fairly type-A (aren't we all?), but, NOT someone you would EXPECT to have a gun(s) in concealment.
When I meet everyone on race day or at a four keys talk...please don't be worried! Luckily for the Haus, my next race is IMCoz and I am not interested in getting my guns out of the country! I DID get them to New York with me a month or two ago, but, COZ is a no no!

I second Rich, thanks everyone keeping the discussion civil. Much more stimulating and educational.
Did you see the guy get tazed on the baseball field? Maybe I should get one of those. Then I could use it on my cat too.
You do and I'll show up at your house with my 357!!!!
(and I just know you said that to see if I'd respond)
Not fair. Your cat can't say "Don't taze me, bro!"

Just curious!

Anyone else actually carry on a regular basis?
