I don't always carry, but I should. So when my wife and I go out, sometimes she'll ask me if I'm carrying.
But we call it "warm" in case there are people around who are easily excited about that kind of thing. Or we're entering an establishment with a No Weapons sign.
She'll just ask, "Are you warm?" I'll nod in affirmation.
Keeps things simple.
This is my favorite rifle, and that's not something I generally say. I find myself always grabbing it when I need a rifle. It's a @sigsauerinc .300BLK MCX Rattler with a Romeo9T sight, Sig can, @SureFireLLC Mini Scout and a SMSLaser from KOmbat Solutions.

When Beretta wrapped up its military contracts in Brazil in 1980, they sold their entire São Paulo factory - lock, stock, and barrel - to Taurus. Taurus didn't just buy the building; they inherited the original Beretta blueprints, machinery, tooling, and workforce. They took the legendary 92 design and arguably improved it by keeping the safety mounted on the frame (where your thumb naturally rests) instead of moving it up to the slide like Beretta did.
