[Envisioning]

Always in a quality holster that covers the trigger.

I have no children in the house, but it is usually on my hip, as it is now, otherwise, very close nearby always in a holster while loaded.

At night, it is on my nightstand, holstered, but loaded.

Another issue is re-chambering ammo over and over. This can cause an un-safe condition referred to as "set-back" resulting in over-pressuring a round. I prefer to keep my weapons loaded until it is time to go the range.

Here is a good site on concealed carry if you have not seen it.

Lots of good information there.

Good point.
