I didn't used to carry ALL the time. I do now. It was too cumbersome, too bulky, too heavy, too much to think about, and too difficult to carry all the time. Therefore, I only carried occasionally.
In the last few months it's become quite clear, and very simple. I guess I had an epiphany - I imagined myself in a scenario where my life or my family's life is in danger. If something were to happen to one of my family members, and I (firearms instructor, capable marksman) didn't have a weapon and wasn't able to do anything, I would never be able to forgive myself for not trying.
That's it - very easy to understand. I carry, all the time. Not because I'm paranoid, not because I want to feel like a badass, but because I love my family that much.
Be safe, be responsible, and be vigilant.
