Does anyone here carry a firearm everywhere they go?

13. Assuming I carried legally and had the properly blessed and sealed permit...

...yeah, there are a bunch of places that I would not carry to. However, that does not necessary preclude me from leaving the house with a gun.

For example, my place of employment. I don't know what their policy is, but the packet the HR guy gave me (last up dated in 1995) doesn't say anything about guns. However, it's a private, casual, family business, so...???

I might carry in the car, but leave the gun in the car when I when to work. The neighborhood is okay but no more, so maybe I'd need it one day. Maybe not. Probably not.

Likewise, my family is not really pro-gun, so if I was traveling to their home I probably wouldn't carry with me, simply because I want to honor their feelings in this manner. I see no reason to pull up to, say, my aunt's house, whip out my handgun, and stuff it in the glovebox in front of my mother. Or to say to her "here, hold this while I drive".



Likewise, if I was going out to a bar, my choices are to either not carry at all, or to carry but leave the gun in the car. I'm not known for getting blitzed nor driving drunk, so probably leaving it in the car would be okay; if I can legally drive then I can't be carrying concealed while impaired, right?


How about a first date? what's her point of view? What if it gets all second-base-ish? Do I want to interrupt a tender moment with "hold on, let me secure my gun. No, not that gun. My Glock"?

Again, I'd probably leave it home unless things were more familiar.
