I think most people that carry do forget 59 minutes of most hours or more. A year or so ago when walking out of a big box home improvement store and guys says to me "you got a knife?", I slowed and turned and thought and said no. As I thought about how I don't carry knives, they are sharp objects that cut things, possibly including me, and I can't afford the anti-hemophilia factor treatments, and I don't need a knife 364 days of the year or so, so no. I looked around, seeing the guy holding the tie down string the store provided at the exit, and looking around for something to cut it with. I scanned and looked, and even tried to rub the string on a metal piece that was protruding from the string roll holder itself. The metal did not cut it. As I rubbed it I noticed the keys in my hand. A key could probably cut it better, and even better than that - the multi-tool I added to my keychain a few years ago actually has a small knife in it. So then I had to change my assertion, I did have a knife, I handed it over to the guy, he cut his string and all was well. I forgot I had this weapon, and have before when going to places with metal detectors (which don't care if you take it off your keychain and hide it in the bushes next to the front door ). I forgot I had it a lot, even when asked about it, even when it was actually useful. I hope it's not that hard to imagine, as we move throughout the days we get so much on our mind about past and future, we, or I at least, often forget what I have in the present, and I try not to be like that.
