I may have gotten a concealed carry license to put a handgun in my vehicle on occasion while traveling or to wear under an outer covering once in a while. However, now I carry almost everywhere, almost all the time. The reason is quite simple. I dread that I may be without it when I most need it.
There is no way to predict when going out what may happen while out. Should something happen, it is unrealistic to think I would be able to drive home to get what I need to solve a situation. In fact if I had time to do that, I should stay home and phone the police. No, when a handgun is needed it is needed here and now. The thought that I might need something here and now that is at home in a safe causes me to take roscoe with me almost everywhere.
By the way, retreat from a lethal attack is no longer legally necessary where I live. “Home” is my castle now means “home” is pretty much wherever where I am.
