Or in his case, 1 on the hip, 1 IWB weak hand side, 2 in a shoulder rig, 1 on each ankle, and maybe an SOB LCP to top it all off.
You can never be too cautious.............

Then you can buy more guns to cover all that.
I thought I wanted to go to Vegas but I'm not so sure now..........

If I didn't have two small kids I would have a gun in each room. I usually just keep one under my bed and on top of my fridge just incase...

I keep one on my hip and a shotgun in the bedroom...the rest stay in the gun room (locked door) inside a closet (locked and fortified a tad).

If i need more than my 1911 and my 870 then chances are il have a few seconds to get to that room and grab them.

I do however keep a 1911 mag in the kitchen, office, living room, and a spare in the bedroom (all in a drawer or on top of the fridge or something). That way if someone does break in they can't kill me with my own gun but i can move throughout the house and reload if need be.

I thought about it. Decided that I did not want to risk arming an intruder who happens to find one or more of the hidden guns. I'm with chupacabrachus. I keep mine on my hip. I store the balance of my guns in the keep.

I don't have one in every room, but I do have one for upstairs and one for downstairs.

The mag idea isn't bad at all. I usually don't strap on my spare mag when I get up in the middle of the night LOL. At least then all the criminal will have is something to chuck at you
