A week without carrying

We spent the last week visiting our family in San Diego. California does not honor permits from other states and, in many of its counties, rarely issues permits to its own residents, so the Glock stayed home.

It felt a little odd not carrying around that extra weight on both hips. At the same time it was disconcerting. I’m of the mindset that if I ever need to use my firearm for self-defense outside the home, it’ll be in a place I least expect it. That's why I carry everywhere.

It's funny how a few years in a "free state" changes you.
