I carry almost all the time. The only times I don't are those times I "can't". That is, schools, colleges, court houses (don't spend much time there, thankfully), and whatnot. Also, wherever posted. If an establishment posts that they don't allow firearms, I usually won't spend my money there.
Like WanMan, my carry is the 642. I've grown quite comfortable with it in a Galco Stow & Go, inguinal crease. In winter, I'll use a pocket holster.
The wifey will occasionally brush against it. She doesn't like it, but realizes this:
Bad things happen by bad people everyday. It, for the most part, cannot be predicted. You may or may not be the victim of this behavior. IF the bad guy decides it is going to be you, it is going to happen. You can take it and maybe get out of it ok OR you can not take it and raise your chances of getting out of ok and with your stuff. Righting the scale back to even or to your advantage can save your life.
She trusts my judgement, learning, and temperament. She also knows that, no matter what, I'm not ever going to just let something bad happen to her or the kids.
