Do You "Carry" at Home?

I'm new here and maybe this has been covered several times but I want my wife to know that I am not alone in this regard.
While I am at home doing all my normal stuff I carry a gun in my pocket from the time I get up to when I go to bed. My wife thinks I am paranoid. I told her that it's not all that uncommon.

Thanks for your reply.

Yes I carry on my person. Along with carrying I have a gun in each room. DPMS .308; Remington 870 Pistol Grip; 1911's; 2 Revolvers, and a Taurus .38 in the bathroom.

Yes, home invaders do not stand by and give you a chance to run to the safe.

Paranoia is not necessarily a bad thing.

Since I have a house full of kids, I rarely carry around the house. When not on my person, all firearms are locked up but several are in quick access safes.

I still consider myself "armed" because over the years I have also collected a variety of weapons in general and virtually every room has one or more of axes, swords, spears, halberds, etc... hanging on the wall.

Your wife would think I am a wacko for sure!

I carry a 45 IWB at home and several revolvers in different rooms and an extra in my truck. If you try and guess when you will need it you most likely will guess wrong that has been prov-en time and again in history.

You could just hang up those (( Gun Free zone )) signs at home and point at them when the bad guys come!

Yes I do as well. Being my daughter is grown and moved out I have a gun at ready in every room. My daily is strapped on the moment I get dressed until I go to sleep.

Yes. XD45 OWB when I know I'm home for the rest of the day. Or my normal carry IWB when I'm home.

Yep.

Another vote for yes. Goes on as soon as I get home from work (can't carry there, can't leave in car either), or as soon as I get out of bed on weekends.

No,

But...I always have several firearms nearby.

If I lived somewhere other than where I do (out in the country), the answer might well be yes.

If I go out to the shop after dark, I will sometimes take a weapon.

Basically, if you can make it to my house without me or the dogs noticing....I deserve to be assaulted.

I carry at home because I have young children and I don't want to leave my gun somwhere that is easily accessible. The safest place is in a holster on my person.
