You can never be too cautious.............

Then you can buy more guns to cover all that.

yes and no.

No there is not a gun in every room.

Yes there is a gun on ME when I am in every room.

Wouldn't it suck to be that guy who just couldn't get to his gun in time?

A gun in every room VIOLATES the Cardinal Rule of gun ownership: ALWAYS keep POSITIVE CONTROL of your firearm(S)….Guns spread around in every room is NOT positive control!

Bad...Very Bad.

I own approximately 72 firearms that are in working condition, I have a gun vault made out of my closet, I have 3 gun lockers, 1 gun safe....if you show up in my home without a pizza, warrant, or a sepeana you will see a Gold Dot staring you in the face in any room I find you in. I can bring you to my home right now and bet you that you can't find a single one of the 5 guns i have stashed...

No, we don't have a gun in every room. We do have small children in a couple of rooms - does that count?

No, I don't carry a gun around all the time when home. I do when I am outside and certainly on or off duty when out and about and anytime there is a knock on the door.

I wonder about the folks who keep loaded weapons scattered about their home or at least loaded magazines? What exactly is it you fear? Have you considered talking with a therapist? Maybe the time has come to move out of Beirut? The only time I see weapons in every room is when it's a drug bust and the paranoia associated with Meth and other drugs.

You would be better off to have a pistol on your hip then retreat to your "safe room" and fight it out from there. Safe room should have a landline and a cellphone. Or at least a cell phone since landlines can be cut.


But its your house so defend it how you want.

I try to keep a pistol either on my hip or somewhere in the room I am in. When I get home I try to remember to open the safe so that I can retreat to that room with wife and kids. Even when out side if not carrying I will place one so that all I have to do is walk inside the house and there it is.
