Why wouldn’t you? You carry at the store because it may get robed, in your car because you might get car jacked. Well where exactly do people think burglaries and home invasions happen?
Indeed!

85% of the time. The other 15%? Either sleeping with one within arm's reach or pajamas with one within arm's reach.
As soon as I get up in the morning a holster gets put on when I put on my belt and a pistol goes in to it. When I get ready for bed it goes back in to the Artemis on the nightstand (small kids in the house) and is never much out of reach.
Not long ago the dogs were going crazy in the backyard in the middle of the night and the wife asked me to go check it out. I slipped a pistol in to my pocket and grabbed a flashlight. She asked me if it was really necessary to take a gun with me. I told her that if it is worth me going to check out then there is a chance that I might need it. She agreed and never said anything about it again.

That could well be just as important or more than the bump in the night investigator.
As this has happened here more than a few times my spouse is armed as I leave the room to go look. That is the way of things. As it should be.
The whole family carries at home. Except the infants
