Assuming you are a permit holder how often do you carry?

Between all of the visits to the PO (no carry), and the travel to the Carib, (no carry), I am maybe 50% - but then I do not have this fear of immediate attack everywhere I go, so if I do not have a gun I am not freaking out or refusing to go somewhere

If I leave the house, I'm carrying. Obviously there are a few places I can't such as a courthouse, a school where I vote, but that's about it. If I were clairvoyant and knew the time and location where some puke intended to attack me ... I just would not be there.


L.W.

If it is legal I am carrying 90% of the time. If I'm driving half a mile to the in-laws house I might skip it. Plus I don't carry traveling to and from work because it is illegal to have it at work. (Yes, actually forbidden in the law.) Now that my parking space has been moved, I might get a safe and start carrying to and from work.

I guess I am one of the lucky few. I carry virtually all the time outside of home. My employer doesn't mind carry, as long as you have your permit. Quite a few of the employee carry everyday.

I tend to be an "American Express" carrier -- "Don't leave home without it" My Taurus is on me as I type this in my dining room at 1:35 AM. It comes off to shower, sleep, go into a post office, and a few other rare occasions. As a post my son saw on Facebook said, "A gun is like a parachute -- if you need one and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again!" I used to only carry when going into a city or other place I deemed potentially dangerous, but I realize that my permit and weapon place the responsibility on me for the safety of not just myself and my family if they are with me, but others around me as well.

Used to be all the time. Carried at work, most other times I was at home. Then I moved and switched jobs. Can't carry at work now. Much slower pace in new town. Irony is, more folks prolly carry out here. Per capita is almost certainly. Gonna get back into the habit...

Meeting people to conduct Craigslist deals, you might want to carry it, and have your hand On it.

A local guy was shot eight times, in the daytime at a McDonald's as he stepped out of his car, to answer a "cell phone" ad.
A second guy was in the attacker's car, with the attacker standing. The victim miraculously survived in decent shape. Cordova/Memphis TN.

What is this "permit" of which you speak?

Very good advice especially if you're meeting someone to buy something expensive from them. It's like a "meet me and bring lots of cash" request when you think about it. I'd say don't go to a house at the end of a long country road to buy an "almost new ATV" for half the book value too.

Cee Zee: Country roads...I met a guy who got lost driving within an hour of Memphis, in north MS.
Very soon after he passed a few guys standing by the gravel road, he saw the dead end.

But as he turned around, the group of guys were lined up across the road, to get him to stop. The driver had a bad feeling about the scene.
The driver was a farm boy from west TN, and he told me that he hit the gas, sending gravel flying and would rather risk hitting one of them, than stopping and risk being hurt or robbed etc.

The guys scattered as his truck raced up to them. That road is probably near where somebody spotted my wife's car just after it was stolen from Oak Court Mall in Memphis. The Deputy we went to meet at the BP station in Red Banks told us to Not try to look for the road where the car was seen-and it had nothing to do with getting lost....
Lots of stolen cars from here are found on very isolated gravel roads in Marshall County MS, with dudes standing nearby.

I carry 100% of the time.

Work in a not so good area, Gary In.
