People wonder why you need to carry at home

Studies have shown that most home invasions happen at home.

I don't carry at home. My home is my castle so that makes me the king. People just don't f**k with the king.

Yeah. I read somewhere that most workplace violence takes place at work too.

and that's a pretty nice neighborhood too....

You mean just down the road from the Denver Women's Correctional Facility, Denver County Jail, and DRDC?

That's what I was thinking...

I've never understood the "I only carry when going to a bad area" thought process.

That's pretty much my mentality so I'll humor you by trying to justify it.

For the first 45 years of my life I didn't carry anywhere. Never felt unsafe or threatened or had any spooky moments.

Recently, it seems evil is popping up more often and popping up in unexpected places. Personally, I don't really think it's any worse than it was years ago. I just think it makes the news more than it used to so it just seems worse than it really is.

Anyhow, I am kind of a creature of habit and really don't go places that I am unfamiliar with and the places I do go don't make me feel an overwhelming need to arm myself.

Statistically I probably have a better chance of winning the lottery or being struck by lightning than ever needing to use a firearm to defend myself but I don't feel the need to constantly buy lottery tickets or spend all of my time indoors.

I guess for me it's more of a risk versus reality thing. If I perceive the likelihood of danger will be high then chances are I wouldn't put myself in that situation anyways. If I can't get out of a perceived high risk situation I will arm myself. If I don't feel there is much of a chance of danger then I see no need to walk around armed to defend myself against nothing.

I also don't wear a seatbelt because I feel the probability of being involved in a fatal accident is statistically pretty low.

Lol. Then you could have robbed me blind pretty easily because I probably wasn't carrying that day.
