I'm always armed. Doesn't matter if I'm in my sweats, or my birthday suit, I always have a sidearm within arms reach.
When I take a shower I keep a handgun at close proximity to the shower hidden under the towel.
When I am sitting on the pot, going to the kitchen for a snack or beverage, my side arm is with me.
I sleep with a loaded snub under my pillow, a loaded 12 ga. SD shotgun within arms reach of my side of the bed, and my wife with one on her side, and a loaded pistol in her nightstand. We both keep small flash lights on our night stands also.
My doors are always locked, day or night. When someone comes calling at my door, I never give a verbal response until I have viewed them from another vantage point, not the front door, or the peep hole, usually through a window blind. If it is someone I don't personally know, I ask them to state their business before I open the door. And when I do open the door, I keep my firearm out of view, usually holstered on my hip or in my hand, and with the door concealing it from view.
I have a small ammo bag, well not all that small, it has several hundred rounds of back up ammunition for our handguns and shotguns.
In my defense, regarding my obvious paranoid existence, starting at age 12 to present, I have been kidnapped, robbed, and assaulted multiple times, about 20 times. Some events have been more violent than others, but all have been life threatening events. Obviously, I am not the average person, but rather, I am of the less than 1% of society. So for me, it's not a matter of if, but when will it happen yet again!
"When seconds count, the police are minutes away" So I keep my handgun only inches away!
