I carry everyday, everywhere I legally can. The only time I don't carry is when I know I'll have a drink at a bar or restaurant. That's usually every weekend-- I'm in my twenties after all. Of course, the one time I'll need a gun is when I won't have one, and that's about fifty nights a year.
I'm curious about how this community addresses the issue. Do most of you a) not carry while "out", b) have a teetotaling social life, c) purposely avoid social activities so you can always be armed, or d) have two beers and carry on?
I teeter between options a and c.
To be clear, I'm approaching this from the perspective of responsible drinking where it's legal to carry in a bar/restaurant that serves alcohol. And by responsible, I mean 1-3 beers and an appetizer. It's a tricky question. If not outright illegal, it could still easily open a legal can of worms in a self-defense scenario. I don't see an issue from a practical point-of-view, however. If you're okay to drive, why not carry?
