Why carry a .32 auto CCW?

Santa gave me a stocking gift that, on first view, appeared to be a watch fob. Well, I do not carry a pocket watch and I have NO other fobs. Thus, no need, eh, wot?

I looked at the Colt M1903 .32 ACP pistol and nice leather holster with a spare mag pocket. I first thought that only the French Military would employ such like stuff. Upon reflection, I may have a French Military holster.

The pistol is Very Good+ and I did polish the brown leather holster by the Christmas tree to keep peace with the Frau. Old hound and I took the .32 to the backyard bench. Firing factory 71 grain Ball showed the gun shot to the sights at 20 yards. I field stripped the pistol, cleaned it and thanked the Frau for the gift.

Ok, now what? I can carry the pistol over the farm like in the Movie "Beau Geste" or put it by in vault #2, which still has space, or carry it CCW. Who else carries a .32 ACP CCW and why? Is a "Death Wish" part of the CCW equation? LOL!
