A speaker at the National Rifle Association convention advised parents to keep an extra gun safe in their children’s room — a suggestion that quickly made its way around the liberal blogosphere.
Rob Pincus, the owner of self-defense training company I.C.E., told the audience at his seminar on home defense Saturday that if they hear an intruder, their first instinct will be to run to their kids. Therefore, that’s where their gun should be as well.
“In the middle of the night, if I’m in the bathroom or getting a glass of water or I’m in the bedroom or watching TV in the living room, if that alarm goes off and the glass breaks and the dog starts barking, what’s the instinct that most people are going to have, in regard to, ‘am I going to run across the house to get the gun, or am I going to run over here to help the screaming kid?’” Pincus said. “And if I’m going to go to the kid anyway, and I have an extra gun and an extra safe, why not put it in their closet?”
The left-leaning website ThinkProgress posted video of Pincus’ comments with the headline, “NRA ‘Home Defense’ Course Instructs Audience To Store Guns In Kids’ Room.” It was quickly picked up by the Huffington Post, Raw Story and elsewhere. Those sites cited statistics about child deaths from accidental shootings and from gun violence....

Mine is on my nightstand or chair if I am watching tv in the living room. Since I don’t live in a mansion that makes one with 20-30 feet of me anywhere in the house.
Screw dimwits I taught mine from an early age to handle them and to NOT touch them.
I’ve been “home carrying” as of late. I bought a nice Crossbreed holster for my 1911. It’s taking the wife a little time to get used to it, but she’s starting to appreciate the idea.
Hell—It was my kids that got me started in shooting.

Get her one also.
I did.
I’ve sold a few .410 Rossi single shots to folks with kids in the house. I fashioned a way to bring a strip of eight rounds to the shotgun and slap them onto the buttstock then load and fire. It’s easy, actually. All one needs is a buttcuff which holds rfile rounds, cut the side with the loops away from the rest of the stretch material, sew the loop side to a velcro loop strip, then attach a strip of self-adhesive other side of velcro to the stock (the felt side). The tool can be left in the kids closet and the ammo carried around with you if need be, for quickest reaction time.
I have no kids and keep one on my nightstand and one right by my computer monitor at all times. Both are ready to go. Plus my wife knows where they are and how to use them.
Liberals are basically hysterical all the time. The noise level is just a matter of whether the motor in their mouths is on or off.
Bare wires, open fires, trap doors, snake pits?
When I was a little kid, my dad kept a shotgun in the closet, leaning against the wall. Never even crossed my mind to use, and I don’t think it ever moved from its place with 4 boys there. We weren’t idiots, though. Kids and parents nowadays seem to have no common sense.
Rural families often keep their guns handy, propped in a cornet or on a rack nearest the door. Country kids must be smarter than city kids about not touching the guns because Dad said so.

On the hip! Body carry is the only way.
My Kimber is always within arms length of me. Always.
We have loaded firearms in almost every room of the house. They’re carefully hidden but we all know where they are and can get to them in an instant if we need them.
We put most of them in the gun safe when we go on vacation but we’d NEVER have them all locked away. That’s just crazy.
The hysteria is a ploy and a successful one - people tend to back away from hysterical people and let them rant. This is one way they shut off the debate.
I never had to hide stuff or lock it up.
