Forgetting about those who are in forums like this." I carried at my wedding", but we aren't the norm, the percentage of people who have licenses, don't carry after the first few years. I would bet money on that. Most guys who I used to shoot with 20-30 years ago, don't even shoot at all anymore. It's like anything else, we are the execption not the rule. I am 61 and I don't throw out the garbage without a pistol someware on my person. But look at it like any other activity, "even though it's not", folks take up 10 or 20 different hobbies in the course of their lives. If they never really thought that they may really have a life or death experience due to their remembering to have a gun on them, they might take it more seriously, but to many it's just another hobby. Once they get tired of carrying that gun around with them, and start leaving it home, that's the beginning of the end of their carrying. We make a lot of adjustments in our daily lives just to maintain our ability to carry our weapon. From the clothes we wear to the method of transportation we use. And the ability to stop into a bar with folks from work, or go to the gym or swimming pool. We plan everything around the gun, weather we realise it or not. It's a lifestyle. And sometimes it can be darn inconvienient, a good rule of thumb is not to tell too many people other than your close friends and spouse, "people who you really can trust and are like minded". I have had a close friend ask me to leave my gun in the car. That only happened once, as I was about to leave and he said , "never mind". But you don't know how people are going to respond to the mere fact that someone is armed in their presence.
