re: People with CC Permits who don't carry

I'm in the carry but don't have a permit crowd. Seldom am I unarmed although I don't carry in bars. Ive never caught shite from a cop for having a gun in my vehicle. Never volunteered that I had one and never gave them a reason to snoop around. Guess I'm lucky.

Quick story:
My dad keeps a .38 with him at all times. Pulls in the driveway a few weeks ago around 9pm. Gets out of his truck to unlock the gate at the end of his driveway. Leaves his gun in the truck cause it's the house, right, and he's never had an issue in 52 years of living there. As he is unlocking the gate a complete stranger- drifter, homeless, thief, whatever- emerges from the darkness right in front of him. Dude is nervous as hell and tries to explain himself. My dad is caught completely off guard, a few words are exchanged and the stranger hauls arse down the road. My dad abut shits himself because he realizes he left the gun in the truck and was completely vulnerable in his rural road with no help.

TLDR:

Moral of all that:
Familiarity breeds contempt, you never know when you're gonna be vulnerable and need your weapon, always carry your sidearm
