The thing about carrying is this: pistols suck at stopping threats compared to long guns, but they are always there for those surprise events.
And smart criminals don't initiate violence when it's expected. So the home invasion to worry about is the one that surprises us. Or the guy who comes down the driveway looking for directions who pulls a firearm. Or whatever.
So yeah, when I'm getting dressed I check the status of the pistol and put it on. When I go to bed I take it off.
If there's a strange 140lb dog upsetting my dogs by standing on their doghouse to get out of the rain, or a rabid animal, or scrappers assuming I'm not home, or whatever, it's there right where I want it if I need it (all things that have happened in the last couple of years).
I don't expect to need it, but a few times in the last couple of decades I've been very glad it's on me. And sometimes when I got the vibe things were about to go sideways I was unhappy I didn't have one on me.
So I learned. And I bought comfortable leather holsters I can wear all day, and comfortable gun belts that look normal. If I'm awake and I'm not bathing or engaged in particularly intimate activities, then I'm armed. And in those instances a firearm is close by.
Because the event that we prepare for is one that happens with zero notice, when we're otherwise pre-occupied, that offers us no time to grab a gun if it's not already on our person.
