Re: Licensed but don't carry? Why?

The issue of leaving a sidearm in a vehicle during an entire workday is a concern, but I have a cable/lock-box setup and there have never been any reported vehicle burglaries at my work. I can imagine if I didn't have a fairly secure setup and parking lot I wouldn't be comfortable at all leaving it in my vehicle. That being the case, considering a lot of the days I go to work and run any errands I need to on the way home from work, that would put me at being unarmed the whole time I'm out of my house.
I too have known people that got their CHL (none in the past year, therefore no LTC) and didn't intend on regularly carrying at first. They wanted to get it then get set up to carry and just never got around to it. I also know a few that got their CHL with no intention of carrying but that changed as they realized it didn't have to be that big of an adjustment. Between tuckable holsters, extremely small compacts/subcompacts (I don't even have to buy bigger jeans), along with other holster options (especially if you're willing to carry off-body), it doesn't have to be that big of a disruption to normal attire.
