You know they're portable, right?

More reason to wear the holster.

Here's how I look at it.....

A) If it's in a holster on my belt I have control over access to my firearm.
B) If something bad happens, I'm going to reach for the gun in my holster as that's what I've trained to do.... Could be really bad for me if it's sitting behind my laptop on the table when I need it .25 seconds ago.

i usually have it concealed, and i'm used to it that way. since i have a 3 year old in the house, at night i'll unload it completely and have the full magazine and the empty gun in a high place, seperated, that way the next morning all i have to do is insert mag and rack. we have one of those childproof door handle covers on our bedroom door knob, so it's not likely she'll be getting in there at night anytime soon.

I voted Yes. That said...I can't exactly say OUT LOUD that I carry at home and I can't exactly say why I can't say here on a public forum.
If I did carry at home (hypothetically speaking) I would carry concealed. Until there were no kids around. then I would carry open. Usually when I am working in the yard on weekends I carry open until I go someplace for supplies/lunch etc. then I decide based on my expected stops whether to put an over shirt on or not.

I'm a firm believer in carrying EVERYWHERE YOU GO... and then includes while at home!!! My niece who used to live with us asked me why I carried around the house. I told her because if anyone breaks in right now, I don't have to worry about getting to my gun.

I shower with my gun on a FAST Holster in the shower. I have my gun with me at all times when I am at home. Most home invasions take place between 9am and 6pm. I work out of the house and obviously my information is all over the internet due to the line of work I am in , so the chances of someone entering my house (should they be foolish enough to do so) armed is pretty good. A long gun is always nearby as well!

I carry open nearly all the time. Since I carry for work (usually 15-16 hours a day) I feel naked without it on. Also, i've noticed that the neighborhood kids cut through my yard less when they see me mowing grass with my glock!
