You don't think it is smart to carry all of the time? How do you determine this? I really want to know.

Interesting twist of my actual words to suit your purpose? I did not write, " don't think it is smart to carry all of the time." My words more accurately reflect the idea that when I feel the need to carry, then I carry. Most of the time I feel perfectly safe without a weapon.

What's the saying, "Carry 24/7 or guess right". If I had enough perception to know when I needed to carry a firearm and when I didn't need to carry a firearm to ensure the safety of myself and my family, then I wouldn't need a firearm at all. I would simply avoid the places where I "needed" it.
The fact of the matter is no one has that level of perception. The need to defend yourself or your family could occur any place at anytime. Before taking a test I study, practice, and prepare to be successful. I have found this to be a much better approach than guessing.
I use the same approach for my family's safety. I study (by learning defensive skills and situational awareness), I practice (defensive skills at the range and situational awareness everywhere I go), and I prepare (by always having the necessary tools at my disposal whenever I legally can). Guessing almost always results in failure when tested.
