Very well put indeed.I don't need a gun on me. But, should that change, the need will be sudden, unexpected, and very desperate.

Excellent thinking!I ... don't specifically answer my door armed. If I'm concerned enough about who's on the other side of that door that I won't open it without a gun in my hand I just don't open the door.
This is one of those topics that come up over and over again and every time it does someone makes a comment to the effect of "I can't imagine being so fearful that I feel the need to carry a gun in my home.". They then go on to tell us they have multiple guns stashed all over their house. Wait, what?
I don't always carry at home because I'm not always dressed to carry. I'm currently sitting on my couch in gym shorts and a T Shirt and my Glock 26 is sitting on the coffee table. If I move to a different part of the house it goes with me. If I'm wearing clothes that will support a gun then I wear a gun.
I read a blog by Tamara Keel once that says (paraphrased) " It's not so much that I carry a gun at home as it is that I simply carry a gun." I carry at home 1% for "just in case" and 99% because if I have to take the dogs out or SWMBO sends me to Walmart I don't have to stop and put my gun on.
On a side note I also don't specifically answer my door armed. If I'm concerned enough about who's on the other side of that door that I won't open it without a gun in my hand I just don't open the door.
What about the unplanned arrivals?I decided to live where the only people I see are either related to me, or I have planned on their arrival.

I always open the door for JWs
Seriously, I don't make a big issue of it but if I don't know who it is I simply don't answer the door.
Thank you, I started a thread about it a couple years ago I'll see if I can find the linkExcellent thinking!
I did that too, for a time.I tried having a "grab and go" gun that was of a lesser grade of firepower than normal because I was "just going to go" do whatever that shouldn't be dangerous or pose a threat.
Yes, and it should be an informed decision.Some might even say that my EDC of choice is inadequate in their view. That's a decision everybody has to make for themselves.
Does a Ruger LCR count? That's as close as I get.Does anyone else use what I call a “grab and go” gun? Specifically, a pocket pistol of marginal caliber for those short tasks, like walking dog, grabbing milk, etc.....
Jehova's Witnesses but I don't get them too much anymore because I know the Bible better than they do and I mess up their theology.
I always have an LCP in my right hip pocket in the OEM Holster..
I usually add a .45 Shield or M&P M2.0 Compact 4" .40 S&W to that but sometimes I get lazy.
I haven't found a small light gun in a reasonable caliber that's fun to shoot.
If you can pull it off with your mode of dress a S&W M442 with .38 Wadcutters likely comes the closest.
