A naked feeling this morning

When I got dressed this morning I didn't don my holster & gun, since I was planning on working from home, and my office is only a few steps from where I normally store my pistol overnight.

I was sitting in my home-office working and a diesel truck came up the street and sat in the street outside my house.

I suddenly realized I didn't have my pistol on & even though otherwise fully dressed felt like I was running around with no clothes on.

Turns out the neighbor forgot to pay their gas bill & the truck was only Centerpoint out to shut off the gas, but the feeling of being naked was quite pronounced (and yes, I have it on now).

I have found it to be quite interesting how having a weapon can be comforting when the unexpected occurs. I was surprised by the feeling of nakedness when I didn't have it on me and the unexpected occurred.

You are not alone...

Just remember, whatever you do, don't look behind you...

I'm glad you were blessed with a scenario that proved non-threatening.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.

There will be times when you can't carry. Secured area of airport, federal building, etc. At home though, you can carry 24/7. One day the guy putting the restaurant coupons on your door could get Solicitor Rage or something.

My car did not cost that much!"

"For the feeling of running around with no clothes on- I would recommend the Western two gun rig with an integrated 2" double thick belt. Metal tips on the buckles optional"

Situational awareness is good Mithras61! Just funnin' - hey I do know the feeling...like everytime that plane from TX lands in Kalifornia....!

Cover carry well Mithras61!LOL
