I think we'd be long gone from any location that required me to walk around the house/yard with a gun on my person.
Required is a pretty strong word. I always carry a sidearm on my place outside the house. Snakes, hogs, coyotes, and any other number of varmits are apt to be encountered at any moment. I don't like varmits, especially around the house. And I wouldn't choose to live anywhere that i have to worry about gunshots hitting a neighbors house, or a neighbor seeing me on the porch in the morning in less than acceptable public attire.

I understand people not wanting to be armed in their own home. Different strokes for different folks and all that. I'm not criticizing anyone for carrying in their home, or not carrying in their home. I just wanted to find out how many other like minded people there were out there.
Sorry, I reckon I should have used 'any metropolitan area' instead of 'location' in that above sentence. Quadruped yard varmints don't overly concern me, it's the biped variety that I keep a look out for. Around here, folk pretty much know which folk not to mess with.

Nope. We live in a small rural town in the Pineywoods. Should someone come unannounced to the door after dark, they will be cordially met by me with my Compact 1911 by my side.
