I carry everywhere I am able. I won't risk work, since it's federal land, and I do see security performing random stops on certain days. From work, I'll usually go out of my way to head home first in order to arm myself and then go on about my business.

I carry everyday to work, errands, and church. When I go out there is always a gun on my hip. The only time I take it off is to shower, use the restroom at work, and when I get home. When I am home there is always multiple firearms available to me wherever I am in the house.

I carry nowhere near often as I'd like to. I'm a full-time student, so I obviously don't carry during the day as it would be a felony.

I do carry whenever out in the evenings or on weekends (I don't frequent bars or anywhere that posts a 30.06 sign).

If I'm awake I'm carrying unless I'm at home; where there is always a gun in reach.

I carry openly at work and concealed wherever I go.

I don't go to bars, haven't seen a 30.06 around here and can't recall when I've ever gone anywhere that CHL is restricted.

As I said previously, if I'm awake and not at home; I'm carrying.

I carry every day. My employee handbook says I can’t, but not worded to make it legal. I know I can be fired if caught, but not arrested. While at home I always have my gun in reach.

My employer allows me to carry as I am a field employee. but if I was in an office and the policy was no firearms in the building, I would just carry a good knife and peppar spray.

So you remove it when you enter the building..... while in your car? Do you keep it in your glovebox? Do other people know this is what you do?

I'm just paranoid of leaving it in the car or having someone see me leave it in the trunk..... just wondering. I have the same situation where my employer prohibits weapons in the building.

Another "tactical pastor" here. I carry daily. The only time I leave the pistol at home is when we go to High School sports events. I leave it in the car when I visit hospitals and nursing homes that are posted 30.06.

I carry as often as I am allowed to. I work for Uncle Sam, so I am unarmed to and from work and anywhere I might stop on the way home. I don't do clubs, but I'll find myself in a laid-back bar now and then, so that will have me leaving the house unarmed. Also, whenever I am at my daughter's school for more than just picking her up, I leave my firearm under my seat and park off-property.

I carry whenever I leave home with the exception of jury duty and airline flights.

Since my CHL arrived, I have been making an effort to carry whenever I can, as long as it's either legal, practical, or wise (which means, not at work). Mind you, this has only been since last week!

I think I could carry more frequently if I could figure out a way to make it practical under certain circumstances. There are times when a full-size pistol is not doable on-body and for me that's like 50% of the time I could be carrying.

I do not have my license yet, but I carry at work since I am the owner. I also carry to and from work and leave it in my car until I am able to body carry. Hopefully, it wont be too long now! The cold season is upon us so I believe it will be much easier to carry once the license arrives.

I make an effort to carry everywhere I go and at home also. At first it took discipline and effort, but now it has become natural. I have not ran into any posted areas, but that could be because I live in a small, West Texas, town, too.
