When I get home I go from a Glock 23 or Glock 26 in an IWB to a Walther PPS (M1) 9mm or a .40 S&W Shield in my pocket, but if I'm even dressed in just shorts I have something on me besides my folding knife.
It's easier to just draw a pistol than to race back to wherever you stowed it (for me that's usually my bedroom).
When I was on the ambulance one of the patients that I felt kind of bad about was this older guy who was just lounging around his house when his doorbell rang and instead of talking through the door he answered it and got bum rushed by several gang bangers doing a home invasion.
They'd heard that he had guns from someone and decided to clean him out. I checked up on him after another call took me to the same hospital and it turned out that he had an orbital fracture of his left eye and there was some question if he might lose sight in it permanently. I don't know how many guns he had, but he might have had a pretty good shot at repelling the attack as they just used fists and feet and hit him with the brass lamp by his easy chair.
You could also step outside for a second and get attacked. Doesn't have to be a person, might just be a couple large dogs that your neighbor lets loose.
So yeah, I'm armed even at home and even though I live in the suburbs.
