.....I've been carrying semi-auto handguns in Condition One since 1960 or so when I first started carrying Granddad's High Standard .22 on the farm. Condition One is hardly something new to me.....

Do you have a reading comprehension problem? I stand by what I said and it is not at all contradictory.
In 1960 I was a 9 year-old kid. Carrying Granddad's .22 High Standard was hardly a "pretty much every day" event, as our farm was several miles away. Nevertheless, my brothers and I did a LOT of shooting and hunting at Granddad's. We'd ride our bikes over pretty much whenever we wanted to. Since we rarely had more than a box or two of bullets and Granddad always had bricks, I probably shot more at Granddad's place than on the home farm. I loved shooting the High Standard and would do so often. Still do, as I got it when Granddad passed away.
I got my CCW license in 2003 when Colorado became a "shall issue" state. I didn't start carrying "pretty much every day" until 2007 or 2008.
