Since the weather has changed, i am having solicitors ringing my doorbell on sunny days. Yes, i understand free enterprise. It confirms my personal choice to be armed or available if needed. Better to have one close, not needed, than in a safe where you are running the distance to acquire your firearm.
Years back, my young son kept saying an old dog was in our yard. My Wife saw it and said it looked mangy. It was not a dog, but a mangy looking coyote searching for food.(40 acre corn field behind my house lot. Not mine though). My neighbor let out his dog and coyote ran off. I carry daily now with hunting season soon.

Probably 95% of the time I am in jeans I have either a Glock 26 in a Crossbreed Supertuck or a Ruger LCP in my back pocket (sometimes both). Probably 80% of the time when I am wearing my pajamas at night or in the morning I have the LCP in my pocket. The other 20%, truth be told I'm too lazy to get it out of the safe. I need to shore up my readiness and carry the other percent of the time.
As soon as I get up in the morning a holster gets put on when I put on my belt and a pistol goes in to it. When I get ready for bed it goes back in to the Artemis on the nightstand (small kids in the house) and is never much out of reach.
Not long ago the dogs were going crazy in the backyard in the middle of the night and the wife asked me to go check it out. I slipped a pistol in to my pocket and grabbed a flashlight. She asked me if it was really necessary to take a gun with me. I told her that if it is worth me going to check out then there is a chance that I might need it. She agreed and never said anything about it again.

As this has happened here more than a few times my spouse is armed as I leave the room to go look. That is the way of things. As it should be.
That could well be just as important or more than the bump in the night investigator.
To me it is. If we have the Gkids here she goes in with them but that has only happened once. Turns out some rowdy party goers making to much racket across the way.
My opinion is that if it is important enough to go investigate in the middle of the night it well could be dangerous enough that I need a firearm.
Also, the door is never answered until my pistol is retrieved from the safe. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
I think it is as much common sense as fire extinguishers, smoke alarms and a spare tire. I haven’t had to use my spare tire in years that doesn’t mean I want leave it behind. I don’t know why many people don’t want to take responsible precautions or even think about it. Carry on!
