I suppose it makes sense to carry all the time, including in the house. At least, it makes sense to me. But I don't have to decide. In MA, it is against the law* to leave guns lying around the house unsecured, so any gun of mine that is outside of my safe is "under my personal control," as the law reads. Simply interpreted, that means that I carry it all the time.

*One LEO who didn't follow the law was brought up on charges when his kid took the gun and did bad things with it. At first appearance, the judge said that Heller let him off the hook, but the state appealed. The case hasn't yet been decided at a state level.
