Elsewhere on this site I read of many guys who claim that one of their reasons for carrying is to protect their families. I follow that as I do the same. However, since you can't be with your family members all the time I wonder how many of your spouses or adult children also carry regularly?
In my family of 6 (two are underage) living in the same home we are all shooters and very familar with arms. Firearms are and always have been as common in our home as the furnature.
However, only my oldest son and I carry regularly with the other adults sometimes thinking about it but not jumping on board. My wife says "I don't carry a fire extinguisher in my purse, so why a gun?" She is not anti-gun whatsoever, she simply does not think anything is going to happen. She however, would like to carry pepper spray.
Are you the only one in your family who carries or do other immediate family members carry as well? If you deem it important to carry then what about the others in your family?
