Gun owners, how often do you carry? - Page 2

I'm curious as to how often those who carry have a gun on their body. I recently got a new carry gun and was reading on a concealed carry forum about "ALWAYS have your gun with you," even if it's just to walk from your bedroom to bathroom. I understand that you never know when anything is going to happen, so the logic of "I'll just carry it where I think I might need it," is flawed, but how realistic is it to carry everywhere? You can even ignore the thought of having it with you in the house everywhere you go, but what about when you make a quick trip to the convenience store, or to go get ice cream at DQ? What are gun owner's thoughts on carrying concealed (or open in states that allow it) everywhere you go? And for those who carry everywhere, what do you do when you go to a "gun-free zone"?

And Trip can move this to War Room if needed, but it's not about politics or religion, so I thought it would get more responses in OT.
