quick access to guns in your home

[indiandave]

I'm a widower. I live alone. a gun is on my person when awake. On my nightstand when I sleep.

One on me. I have a wall clock that opens up. I keep two Guns in there. An AR behind the sofa. Out of site out of mind. When we are out the Dogs are on duty. If going away for vacation all the guns get locked up in my safe room.

There is a loaded gun within 10ft of you no matter where you are within my house.

This reminds me of a friend from my fraternity when I was in college. Except instead of guns it was condoms. In his room you were never beyond arm's reach of one. We didn't believe him one night and started naming random locations in his room where things could get intimate ("on your couch", "next to your tv" etc) and he would go there and pull a rubber out of hiding.

Always on me when awake, on the nightstand while asleep. Others are around the house... Never more than 10 or 15 feet from one PLUS the one on me.

Many here have described keep on their nightstand while sleeping. Don't know about the rest of you, but I've slept through everything from earthquakes to the fire department responding to a neighbor's house.

If someone got it my house, the last thing I would want is a loaded firearm waiting to be found right next to my dead-to-world head. Mine is in a safe but within easy reach should I manage wake-up and need it!

Just wondering what others do? Thanks

If you've seen "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", then you'll have some idea of what I do at my home.

On my hip or within a short reach at all times, indoors or out. I don't leave my bedroom without a weapon on my person somewhere. I certainly don't leave my house without one.

Where is your bedroom? Somalia? Sorry, I couldn't resist

I am wearing a gun if I am wearing clothes. I have a shotgun out of plain sight but worry more about the rifle.

On my hip by day and nighttable at night. There is also a loaded gun in my closet on top shelf for when I am at work.
I have two daughters, 13 and 9 years old, who know where they are just in case. My wife is pregnant and when the baby becomes a todler the situation will be adjusted untill he or she learns the rules.

I have two protective dogs as my first line of defense.
