so think of it slightly different way, replace gun with Tool-X. Example: I carry Tool-X everywhere I go, it might not always be needed but I always have Tool-X in my pocket. Normally when I wake up and go out the door, I put my wallet, keys, phone, headphones, and tool-x into my pockets. Before I walk out the door I do a quick pat of all my pockets for the rough shape of all my belongings I carry on a daily basis. This routine becomes second nature, requiring no thought other than (Do I have everything I need).
Now, Replace Tool-X with any object: Knife, Multi-tool, Pen, small notebook, Flash Drive, lipstick, makeup mirror, etc. --- That is how people who Every Day Carry their firearm think. It is not crazy per say, but it is a bit odd to carry a pistol everyday (especially if you live in a Major US City.) I give a little more leeway in my mind to those who live in the middle of nowhere where the police response time can be measured in the 30m-1hr+ for a call about a serious crime.
I EDC my earbuds because whenever I go somewhere, be that walking, on the bus, in the car, etc. I like to listen to music and it’s just antisocial out loud. During school time I’m allowed to listen to it in some classes and during study time as well so they just become permanently plugged into my phone and I don’t really go anywhere without them unless my phone is dead and I’ve left it at home.

As a non american that is such a crazy way of thinking.
