Since I'm retired from all of these things and spend my time enjoying my retirements I guess most people would class me as a civilian, since I'm no longer on any type of active duty, etc.

As a "Civilian?" I carry a concealed weapon (Pistol) any time I leave my residance, I also always have a folding knive on my person as well. (Benchmark - Emerson CQC7)
I always have an HK .45 with light attached on my nightstand, next to my bed.

So, as a "civilian," how does my "mindset" differ from yours, in non military duty related things?

Sir I hardly consider you a civilian
