I do, a glock 26. No wife to say I am paranoid and no kids to get a hold of an unlocked loaded gun. Just me and any bad guy that decides to kick in my door when I am at home.
HOME CARRY: is Carrying a Gun at Home necessary? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9bIMsGKxy0#ws)
-
Don't home carry, but I do bring out everything I own when I have to clean one firearm. Up to six now! Will be eight by Christmas.
All I have to do is push six buttons and I'm in my safe where my 9mm and loaded mags live. It's hard to have "toys" accessible around the house when you have a curious 7-year old.

Try stop by late one night and see!

Don't do it. You're likely to catch Tom rubbing one out to an old picture of Margaret Thatcher.

I see you've stopped at night before.

Now there's a bad mental picture.

Hahahahaha. Good God. *shakes head*
Yes, I do home carry. It's a Glock 19 loaded 10+1 with 147gr 9mm Speer Gold Dots.
-
I've thought about it. I'll probably end up doing so in the near future. I just need to get a nice holster

Better Margaret Thatcher than Madeline Albright!!!!!!! :rofl:

I don't home carry. Except when I feel like doing exercises and drills. Been doing that since I was a kid as part of the basics of owning a particular firearm. Like getting to know how a new car handles. I don't carry otherwise, though. I did think it odd that my roommates did not want a pistol in their room. I mean, why have one if you're just going to have the gun guy in the house have them all in his room? Well, I do keep them all (somewhat) climate controlled so they don't rust...
But also every house in this part of the island is loaded with weapons and ammunition. Lots of hunters out here. I'm ~not~ worried about a break in. Hasn't been one in this neighborhood - ever.
Its also not that big a house. Easy to get to the weapons if needed.
-
you are most likely to get assaulted when leaving or returning home. people waiting around the corner or in the bushes or whatever until you get your keys out. if they want to take your stuff they usually wait until you are gone. if they want to have some fun then it's a different story.
-
I read an article somewhere (my memory fails me) that one should also carry at home while reloading and/or working on guns with your back to the door. Apparently it happens often enough while we are busy that a perp decides to try to take advantage and use surprise to their advantage. This was especially true when working in ones garage.

I don't reload and I clean my guns on my kitchen counter and it faces the front door. So I'm GTG. I live in a condo, so not much other space to clean my guns. Living in a condo does afford another level of security as a stranger just can't walk up to my door and knock (or at least easily). And if I have any visitors, they typically call when they get here since I have to let them in. I also have a yappy dog in the unit across from me, so I have somewhat of an "alarm". Haha.

Anyone have a belt for sale? Looking for a riggers belt or training one or something for my holster

I clean in my living room. In typical Hawaiian fashion, the only way I can have adequate ventilation is to have the windows and front door open. So, yes, when I am cleaning, I make sure to have a loaded revolver in arm's reach. I have a special one for the occasion, one that won't win any beauty awards and I don't care if I get greasy fingerprints on it. (I also use this revolver when I teach classes, for pretty much the same reason.)
For casual evenings at home, I still prefer a carbine at the ready.

I went to Walmart and got the most sturdy semi-dress belt I could find...works great!
-
i don't necessarily "carry" it but i keep it near me where ever i happen to plan on sitting for a long period of time
-
I just acquired a new-ish Ruger SP101. It fits nicely in the pocket, and I have 5 rounds of .38 Spl to take down a threat or, if need be, fight my way to a Glock 19 with 50 rounds of 9mm ready in mags.

I was actually thinking about a Ruger LCR as a 'garden gun' that I can wear while messing around in the yard with boardshorts and a tshirt. Anyone seen it in a shop around here?

Pretty sure I saw one at security equipment but that was about a month ago or so.

X ring has one with the laser attached.

There's a used one at SEC, I don't know if it had the laser or not. I saw it in the consignment case yesterday. They've also got the S & W Bodyguard .380 and I think the Ruger 9mm pocket gun as well.

Is it the one that kinda looks like the ares ranger belt but it's leather overlaid and sewn into thick nylon?
-
thanks for the heads up!

It's pretty sturdy and holds all my Safariland OWB paddle holsters just fine.

That guy on the video is pretty good and has a sensa yuma. At the end as he went off-camera, I half expected to hear an "Oops, almost forgot," and then re-appear to pick up the gun on the desk.
I don't actually carry at home, but there's always a gun in easy reach in my small apartment. I also bought a couple of ten inch kitchen knives at the dollar store and I have a few of them squirreled away around the place. I do slip a gun in my robe pocket when I take out the trash, which is usually around 4:00AM, and carry a flashlight on a neck lanyard when I do. Not necessarily for two-legged predators, but for four-legged ones as well. I sweep it around looking for paired bright little dots in the night.
So call me paranoid, but the guy's vid is 100% right on, and paranoia, to me, is a survival trait. ;D

I don't exactly strap one on my hip as soon as I'm home, but usually I'll have one within arms reach once I'm settled in. I'm single, and live alone, so it's no biggy for me. I live in a secured apt building, so I'm may be overstretching even then, but what can I say... its like a security blanket.

Not really. Ever notice the Peter, Chris, and Stewie figures on my desk? It's been an inside joke among the men folk in the office for awhile.
Nice try though... :wave:
-
Yeah I home carry a mossberg cruiser and a 55 round bandoleer around my chest!
-
The biggest problem I have with home carry is that I'm in and out of the house everyday. There has been times when I make it to my car and as I put on my seatbelt I'm like shit forgot to put the pistol back in the safe.
-
finally convinced Mrs. Barrels to lock the door when I'm not home. I'm home carrying right now and she doesn't know. Shhhhh....
-
I home carry. only because its my new and its young romance. I love my SA TRP Operator. before that i always had my XD40 in arms reach. always wondered if i'd be fast enough if someone stormed the front...
Happy New Year!

My next gun purchase is going to be an M&P9C, for which I will purchase a Crossbreed holster and commence home carrying. My girlfriend wouldn't really mind now, except she thinks my big Beretta in the shoulder holster I've got for it is a little over the top and she makes fun of me. :( I figure if it's IWB and not right in her face, she won't have much to complain about. :D
-
I don't understand why you wouldn't home carry? Is why we have arms to defend ourselves. Yes the suck part is securing when going out, relying on a little safe by the door or something or going through the motions to the real safe etc. Actually the real suck part is having to take it off to go outside to begin with.
-
IWBs are cool and all but for general home use I find a paddle holster the most convenient. Easy on/off for both firearm and mags.
-
I understand that you are allowed to carry your firearm inside your home, but are you allowed to carry your firearm outside your home but still on your property concealed? Ex......outside working in your yard or something to that extent.

Yup, you can do that. Just don't let it show, or you may get some calls.

Remember to get the one without the magazine safety, or disable it.

Who would you receive calls from?
Aren't you allowed to Open Carry on your property, so long as you aren't acting recklessly or endangering others?
-

Yes, you are allowed to, but I don't expect most Hawaii residents to know that. In turn, a couple calls down to HPD by the neightbors wouldn't be unexpected.
-
Thanks for the clarification, bruddah 2aHawaii... that's what I thought you were getting at, but I just wanted confirmation!! :shaka:
-

WE know that, but the HECO guy checking the meter, the FedEx/UPS lady, or the libtard college students next door might not.
"OH my GOD, OFFICER!! My neighbor had this HUGE GUN at his side!!"
That's all it takes...
-
"Brandishing"? Go CCW when you answer the door.
If outside and others are staring at you with binoculars and call that in, that's a whole other issue.
-
Just make sure that if you are going to be a hero that you do it on your own property.

i always though that you could not carry on your property if people from the street can see your gun. You need a fence or something to block the view don't you?

I do in a paddle holster and some times i shoulder holster duel pistolas when i feel like it... inside only of course dont wanna startle the neighbors you know. It just feels right ya know
