Do you experience this? What I mean is, spending so much on a defensive use gun and/or accessories for same, that you get to the point where you no longer want to carry it (for fear of confiscation - if only temporary - in the event of a self-defense use), or no longer want to leave it in the vehicle, or outside of the safe in the house, due to theft concerns when you're not home, in which case it's not available for self-defense, in which case you pretty much wasted your money (save range sessions & bragging rights), no matter how sweet the rig is.
I'd admit to being guilty; one of the reasons I sold my tricked out Saiga 12 - the main reason really, because it functioned nicely. The tricked out SP-01 with TLR-2 now resides in the safe, with the Bersa Thunder 9 instead at the bedside. What the heck is wrong with me!?
See poll. Aside from carry arms (home defense), the problem can be eliminated by a continual habit of putting in safe upon leaving, and taking out of safe when home, but life happens, and so THAT doesn't happen (at least not regularly).
