I've been carrying for about 5 years now, and just realized that one of my procedures may not be the right way to go about things.
I'm allowed to carry at work, but often have to enter client's businesses, and have been asked, by my employer, to disarm when entering a customer's site. When I do this, I pull gun and holster off my belt with gun still in holster, and store it in the center console of my vehicle. When I'm done working there, I'll put it back on the belt the same way it comes off. Gun holstered.
At home, when I get ready for bed, I do the same, and leave my gun holstered on my nightstand.
Is this a bad practice? I get that if I need it during the night, it will take two hands to make it ready, but just seems safer to leave it holstered. Thoughts?
