I carry a weapon on me. Easier to say where you can't carry. In FL I can carry everywhere except government buildings, police department, airport, and professional events such as a professional baseball stadium.
What type of firearms do you guys have for home protection? The reason I ask is that last night a home invasion occured about 2 miles from me. Fortunately the owner had protection and the home invader was sent to meet his maker. One of my neighbors is a county police seargent and told me the owner was well within his rights to shoot the guy and no charges would be filed. He also told me our area has been "claimed" by a Mexican gang called MS-13. The county police seem to be very worried about their presence. This is also Hells Angels territory albiet I am not too worried about those guys. But around the holidays home break-ins are a problem around here and with the economy being what it is I am a bit more concerned for my than I have been in the past. So what do you guys use for protection?

Living in alaska, I am within my rights to carry concealed without a permit anywhere I want spare gov. Buildings, banks and schools. The kitchen I work in has a shotgun in the bathroom and a 44 s&w by the front door.here at home I have a 12ga that is the exact legal length and nothing more, a ball bat, a glock 17, and my s&w 44. On me is always a 9mm, and my wife carries the same gun. The car has a 12ga and a 9mm as well We stay protected around my house
