Right now mine is on my office credenza right behind me. 8 rounds in the mag, plus one in the chamber. 4 Mags right there as well.
You make a good point - be ready anytime for the ‘thief in the night’
Thoughts on how a confrontation would go down? I get the feeling a lot of folks have in their mind they are going to initiate the confrontation. "Who goes there" if you will. This isn't price negotiation where who goes first loses. In home defense, who goes first is going to win the majority of the time. I also have a feeling if an invasion ever happens to any of us, most (me included) will be so scared shitless we might be lucky to hit the other side of the room.
