I'm never without being within ten feet of a gun in this house.
No, I don't necessarily recommend this course of action to everyone.
Yes, I know how kooky this sounds to people who can't imagine living in such a way.
Easy chair next to gun rack in living room; .32 2-shot in desk drawer of computer station; 12gauge under bed(my side) .38 revolver on nightstand or in back pocket. My kids grew up with guns, no “accidents” as they were all taught properly. Wife hates guns but will hand me a weapon whenever someone knocks on door. We live in a suburb...a supposedly safe neighborhood. Cops were at a neighbor’s home the other night and took three teenagers away in cuffs. I think they were snagged on drug charges. House is now empty. Neighbor was nice guy. You never know. Stay frosty.
