two gun charlie

I have been carrying a firearm 24/7 for the last 12 years , i literally only take it off when I shower or sleep and even then it's within arms reach at all times , recently I went to an event ( warrior race ) where fire-arms are not permitted , usually I ignore the rule because my pistol is so concealed you would never pick it up and metal detectors usually don't pick it up either so I don't care , but I didn't like the idea of going through the obstacle courses with a gun mostly because of the possibility it might slip out and get lost in the water and mud obstacles and all that , so I left the gun at home , it was quite a bit of traveling to the event , but during this time I became aware of a mild feeling of anxiety due to the fact that my fire-arm was not where it should be ( on my hip )
I felt strangely vulnerable and on edge , kept wondering what I would do if something bad happened while i was unarmed, and I had to stop myself from overreacting to one or two little incidents during the day , i mentioned this to my close friend a few days later , he also never goes anywhere without packing and he also agreed that he gets nervous when his gun is not on his hip , just wondering now how many of us are actually calmer and more rational people because we carry guns and that gives us more confidence so we tend to be more relaxed?
Do you feel different when you are unarmed ?
