Might want to re-think that one. Kids will find things....I always have mine put up, out of the safe but put up due to a 7 year old running around the house...

So recently i had a discussion with my wife....about two weeks ago i had my edc piece on my hip while i was sitting at home, and she asked me that question. I never really dug into the answer, all i said was, "to be prepared."
she just kinda gave me a look like "for what, your at home." Now i give her a lot of slack because she is very pro gun but not really up on things when it comes to self protection. so it wasnt like a smarta** question or anything she really ddnt know y i carried at home.......Fast forward to sometime last week/earlier this week. Apparently there was a home invasion in kokomo where the homeowner, a woman was killed. Sad. Needless to say that was the next door neighbor to her uncle, an ex marine and a gentleman that i know for a fact would have definatley put a couple in those intruders f it was his house. The point is we got to talking about it and that that specific scenerio is why i have my edc piece on me even at home. I proceeded to tell her in most if not all home invasions are done by more than one perp. so now she really understands why i carry basically everywhere im at even at home.... Just wanted to share that. Thanks

Don't want to start a flame war (esp against me!) but who has been saved/protected by having the gun carried on their person while at home? Versus who has had a near-accident with it because it was left accessible (to kids), or who has had a gun stolen because it was on a nightstand and not in a safe, or used against them in a robbery? Would be good to hear both sides of this discussion.
I mean this as a serious question, not to provoke, I always wondered about how balanced the pros and cons were.
I also carry 100% of the time at home. I actually carry more at home than anywhere else (working on that). A wise man once posted long ago about all home invasions happening at home, and it clicked right then. Needless to say, I feel much more secure now.. My wife agrees 100% and also carries at home. She came from a gun free home so I feel very lucky to have a wise woman next me...
Bond Arms, hell of a hand cannon I used to own one.I rarely have a gun on my person when I'm at home. However, I have one that is accessible at all times. For example, I'm sitting in my easy chair at this moment. Iv'e got my Bond Arms Snake Slayer within an arm's reach. Since I live in a small house, I can access by shotgun (or a number of other guns) within 10 seconds of any location.
Im affraid to take mine in the bathroom while im showering, for all the steam and moisture in there.I keep my glock 23 with me at all times. It sits on top the toilet when Im in the shower, if thats an idea. I live in a ****ty area, and dont trust the locals.
You are, theyre hard to find these days.
