We all know what the primary reason and thus benefit of concealed carry is.
But how about other less obvious or thought of benefits.
For example in my own case it's been a huge reduction in my monthly wine bill.
Prior to carrying constant as I now do I'd drink a half bottle of red wine with dinner (roughly 3 full glasses).
Now I can't remember the last time I did that, before yesterday.
Yesterday I spent my day with my inlaws BBQing at their house and as per my own rule I do not carry into peoples homes. It's just a matter of respect and around my way hardly anyone is pro-gun so if I got caught I'd might never be invited back again. :\
So being light I of course drank heavy, and had a grand old time getting myself sauced while filling up on lamb & salad.
As carrying requires a 0.00 BAC level (in MA) I've largely chosen to just not drink at all as I never know when or if Imight decide to go out and do something be it day or night.
I don't do any sort of drug prescription or otherwise so that much is a give away and not a loss.
For those of you who carry concealed what other secondary benefits have you discovered?
