I have done the wallet thing a time or two, not a good feeling when you reach for it while carrying and its not there...

[quote="Dragonfighter"]I have gotten in the habit of patting myself down anytime I step outside. The gun has become enough of a habit that, as some have described, is just part of getting dressed. What DID happen not too awful long ago, is the wife and I went out to run a lot of errands (all day) and we ended up at Pei Wei. When it came time to pay, I reached for my wallet and went kind of pale. The wife asked what was wrong and I simply said, "Do you have any money?" She paid and we picked up the order. I asked her to drive home. When I got inside the door there was my wallet where I had left it, but I had been driving and shopping for 10+hours without one whit of ID.

Thus the new routine: Pat - keys, Pat - wallet, Pat - pistol, Check for watch on wrist and that my fly is up (yes that's an issue too). Then and ONLY then do I step through the door.[/quote]

The nurse came in and told me to undo my shirt and lay down, I knew she would see it, owb at 3 position. She asked, "do you carry a pistol?" I said yessss. She just smiled. Pretty funny I thought. I should have ask her what she carries but didn"t want to push it.

Last year several cars had been broken into during this dance recital activity. They may or may not have security this year but don't want to take a chance. The nearby business had also towed cars parked in their area's and I can't park up close enough to be able to check on my vehicle. Don't know if the cars where things came up missing had be locked or unlocked. Just better to have my gun safely at home I am thinking.
Fortunately for me, I have a hard tiome passing up a good deal on guns, so I have a couple decent, not great guns that I bought pretty cheap (Taurus 24/7 in 45 ACP and Rossi revolver in 38SP). I take these with me if I am worried about someone breaking into my car and stealing my guns (assuming of course that I am going somewhere I would need to leave the guns in my car). Much better than being completely naked in these situations.

How many times have I taken off without my sunglasses? How many times have I forgotten my lunch. Others have posted the statement that they have a check list. I have forgotten that too. Once in a while, my billfold. But NEVER my car keys. I have never forgotten my car keys! :hurry: ... Just my opinion, but, I wonder if there is a person that has never forgotten ANYTHING? :thumbs2:
