How do you carry at home?

[zeppelinfromled]

I'm curious how everyone carries in their houses. I ask because I was denied my ALP, but I might as well be able to protect myself when I can.

Lets say that you're getting home from being out somewhere and you're carrying concealed. When you get home, do you continue to carry concealed? Do you transfer to another holster (and/or another gun) and open carry? Do you not carry at all?

Another scenario is on a Saturday morning that you're spending at home, for instance. Do you carry around the house? And if so, how?

Whatever gun & holster combo I'm using that day, stays on around the house.

 

[97serpent]

I just have a gun in every room.

 

[Twigg]

I just leave an assortment of loaded rifles, shotguns and handguns laying around.

Always within arm's reach.

Warm weather months, the 642 just stays in the pocket where is is right now. In the colder months when I carry a Speed Six (IWB), it too usually stays where it is but sometimes, if it's not well concealed, I go to the pocketed 642 so the GF doesn't freak out ;-)

I carry in the house the same way I do when in public. The only difference is, sometimes I tuck my shirt in in the house so that my gun is exposed. THis way, I stop my hoslter from chafing my fat sides.

When I put my pants on (or shorts) in the morning, my Centennial goes in my pocket. It stays there until I put my PJ's on, at which time it takes it's rightful place in my sock drawer to spend the night. (Needless to say, locked and secured as dictated by Massachusetts Law and Common Sense)

Shouldn't the faction that puts people down for carrying around the house/yard be popping in about now?

 

[Ma$$hole]

Whatever and however I'm carrying that day. I'm just a lil more careless as far as printing and brandishing at home. When my pants go on in the morning my gun and holster go on. Until then I shoulder carry I just wear a shoulder holster and ONLY my shoulder holster or I smart carry when I want to go with the @$$less chaps look.

 

[Arioch]

I let one of the girls man the mini-gun emplacement on the roof.

 

[FalArAk]

Guns are icky.

Don't. Seriously.

I usually wear my standard pancake holster w/ M&P9c around the house, which is what my daily concelement package is, sans pepper spray and extra mags. During the winter I might switch to the full size M&P9. Like some of the others, I'm less concerned about printing, and sometimes I feel like I'm in Arizona and I open carry around the house. But my wife doesn't like that too much with our boys at home, but they don't seem to pay attention to it. But I can quickly cover up if I'm answering the door, as I don't answer the door unarmed.

 

[CRSIII]

Don't. Seriously.

 

[Gooman24]

Don't. Seriously.

I thought you were only against cat pics.

 

[mikem317]

Concealed. Just in case I have to leave the house at a moments notice or if I have to answer the door.

 

[Ray Ninness]

Oh man !!!

Yep. I have one in every room except the bathroom.

(I only have two rooms)

Oh man you don't want to get caught unarmed on the crapper, do you :-D

Around the house, when I'm in the mood, it's Mexican carry..

back in detroit when I carried everyday, it was an Uncle Mikes inside the belt, with my Colt 1911 A1

Love that piece

 

[Masterguns]

Yep. I have one in every room except the bathroom.

(I only have two rooms)

you don't take a gun into the shower with you?

John Wayne would not approve...

 

[depicts]

I have "gun on a rope" for those times in the shower.

 

[Dench]

i have a picture of me in the shower with a MK.19... maybe ill post it someday.

Haha +1 though. I'll keep my xd in my supertuck or throw it in the blackhawk serpa if it's a oc in the house kinda day. The supertuck stays up with those elastic band shorts too

 

[KMaurer]

The gun's in the holster; the holster's on the belt; the belt's on the pants. When the pant's go on, so does everything else, including the extra mags, the pepper spray and Surefire. There's not really a decision involved for me.
