I carry from the moment I wake up until it's time to go to bed then my pistol goes right by me along with a bigger boom stick and flashlight. I have been carrying for a year and 3 months and I can count the amount of times I have gone without my gun on one hand. I carry where it's legal and don't when it's illegal. I have become so accustomed to my gun that the other day I left my house to run to my parents house a mile down the road to go sight in one of my guns and I felt like I was gonna have a panic attack when I realized my g19 was at home. Even tho I'm the middle of nowhere and a mile from home and armed with a rifle I felt naked. Carrying a gun is not comfortable. There are ways to make it better but it's never perfect. Carrying a gun may not be comfortable but it's comforting. There are days when I hate my gun and I'm so uncomfortable but I'm happy because I know I'm prepared. My wife used to say you don't need it you are paranoid but now she always asks me if I have it and I give her the look and she says I know I know I should have known because you always have it. She's taking her class soon. I asked her why she always asks and she said it's because it makes her feel safer. I know several who have it and carry maybe once a month and they tell me it's because they can't find a comfortable way yet. I suggest certain ways and holsters but still they say it's just not comfy and I remind them it's not comfortable it's about being ready. They tend to agree but still never do.
