Does anyone here not carry a gun everyday? Has anyone carried and quit?

[User170512]

Some on here are retired, some have never worked at a job where they couldn't carry, I myself work at a job where I can't carry, so don't be critical to those who can't carry unless you have been in that position. Then there are some who say I'd quit that job if I couldn't carry. I carry everywhere but work or Federal places. When I do retire I can talk that talk. Until then business as usual.

And there's a big difference between "carry not allowed" and just carrying a firearm being a felony.

Fire away with your "I'm 2A, but..." commentary.

The question Camsdaddy presented was choosing not to carry where it would be legal to carry. The thread's not about following the law versus breaking the law.

My answer is that I'm almost always armed, in every place where it's legal. USUALLY.

But just this week I locked up my daily carry pistol in my car to go into a courthouse to handle legal matters for a client ...and I have left that gun securely attached to the seat post under my seat ever since. So it's not exactly quickly accessible to me for self-defense anymore.

(I don't know why I've done that; it makes no sense. I should unlock it and start carrying it again until the next time I have to go into a courthouse, or jail.)

If I have my pants on i carry no matter where I am small TomCat

At this point in life where I'm not as capable as I used to be and always caring for and transporting grandkids this is the very time I need to be armed. If there aren't metal detectors guess what. I have more than one weight of carry.

Nope. Carry 100% of the time it’s legal. And some grey area.

It’s like a parachute. If you don’t have one when you need it, you’re unlikely to ever need it again

I don’t carry at work. If I did I’d probably have to disassemble and clean the weapon every day when I got home. I just carry a knife and wallet. Always have one on me in public tho.

Sounds like a J Frame is in order OP.

Glock 19 in the summer heat ? I learned in the military that ounces equal pounds. With the double stack, 1-2 extra mags, edc knife, wallet and phone is why I began to carry single stacks and pocket pistols. I always carry, even when working in my back yard I have something

24-7, minimum of a P32 and up depending on where I will be.

Feel naked without. Used to be a bad mofo, but age and health stuff have turned me into a has been, only way to protect me and mine is a firearm these days……

I was stuck in a shooting once where my job denied my rights and I followed the rules…never again
