I started every-day-carry when I managed a pawn shop in a high-crime area of a high-crime city. What I carried depended on what I was wearing and the level of threat I expect to encounter. After finally retiring I continue to carry partly out of habit, and partly for self-defense if need be. Again, what I carry depends on what I am wearing and the level of threat I expect to encounter.

You are probably spot on that assessment. I have been backgrounded for various security jobs more times than I can recall. Once in California when going through TSA checkline after showing my ID, they entered it and said I could skip taking my shoes off and the normal line everyone else was in and simply walk through a separate lone metal detector where nobody else was in line. I used to transport felon parolees back to Idaho prison for a private contractor from all over the country. I guess that may have played a part in my ez pass in airports. I also was selected to work overnight in my early 20s as a page for President Ford's staff delivering sealed communications to different people in a Hilton Hotel. I was the only employee allowed free access into the Presidential suite. Secret Service even showed me the hardware they had in their briefcases and let me sit in the presidential limo. I was definitely backgrounded for that visit.
I think the feds have files with specific tags on all of us and special codes that help them sift through our private history in order to save time. Those database farms in Utah have something on pretty much all of us and if they don't find a history on someone they research, they will once their background check is complete.
Your Data: If You Have Nothing to Hide, You Have Nothing to Fear
Our value is founded on a unique and deep understanding of risks, vulnerabilities, mitigations, and threats. Domestic Surveillance plays a vital role in our national security by using advanced data mining systems to "connect the dots" to identify suspicious patterns.
Why We Collect Your Data
In the past, domestic law enforcement agencies collected data AFTER a suspect had been identified. This often resulted in lost intelligence and missed opportunities. But what if data could be collected in advance, BEFORE the target was known? What if the mere act of collecting data could result in the identification of new targets?
What if we could build a national data warehouse containing information about every person in the United States? Thanks to secret interpretations of the PATRIOT ACT, top-secret Fourth Amendment exceptions allowed by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, and broad cooperation at the local, state, and federal level, we can!

I‘m really liking the Shield 40. Very small, very thin.
Falco. I went looking online for a custom high sitting holster and in less than two weeks they sent it. Double stitched, good leather.
