Just me in the house, the only time I unload & lock it is if I have visitors or I'm headed to the range.

I have a 4-year old at home so all of my guns are unloaded and locked up.... except my XD(m) 40. It's always loaded and ready to go in a gun vault on my night stand.

Duty weapon glock 22 loaded and chambered in safe.
Glock 27 loaded and chambered in safe.
Glock 23 loaded and chambered in safe.
S&W 442 loaded in safe.
The rest are unloaded in safe because they are just range guns anyways.

i've got two kids, 2 years and 6 months.
both my XD9SC and Mossberg 500 are loaded and ready to go in my safe. my boy already knows that he does not touch daddy's tools... i was rearranging my safe the other day and i didn't know he came into my room. all i heard was, 'no touch... daddy's... no touch.' i can't wait till he's older and i can take him out so he 'can touch'

My wife and I have 4 kids, aged 11, 9, 7 and 3. We have four firearms in the house. My wife has her Walther PK380 for her concealed carry and it sits in her purse, locked and loaded and safety on. There is a Smith Sigma in .40 loaded, empty chamber. My concealed carry XD40 sc is locked and loaded and ready to go when I am carrying, otherwise it is loaded with empty chamber. Lastly, there is a Mossberg 500 20 gauge loaded with an empty chamber.
We have been very diligent about teaching our children about guns and gun safety. My oldest is just starting to get curious, so I see a trip to the range with my wife's gun, or maybe renting a .22 pistol for her.

That would be illegal in Minnesota, I'd highly recommend changing that plan - a purse is no place for a gun anyway.
Do you really find this a good idea? A loaded gun in a purse, with 4 kids? Where is the security in that? Please, please, please do something about that - it's a terrible thing waiting to happen.
Besides, if she gets mugged the first thing they will grab is her purse, then what? He's not only got a purse, but a loaded gun as well.
You also mention nothing of a safe or location of the other guns, I sure hope they are locked away and not sitting openly in a nightstand, under your pillow, some other easily accessible place for kids to get to them.
Guns need to be locked up around kids when they are not in your possession, period - your post frightens me.

i agree with thunder, a purse is no place for a gun. a purse is the easiest target for a BG and what will your wife do then? they do make several concealed options for women so they don't have to carry in a purse. there is the flash bang holster that clips on the bra, a thigh holster or she could even carry IWB.

Every one of my HANDGUNS is loaded. My deer rifle and the .22s for the kids are unloaded. My "kids" are 19 and 22, but I will not let them store thier firearms; I'll do that for them.
All are secured in a steel gun locker when not in my hands or on my body.

I also live alone so I keep all my firearms fully loaded and ready to go.. I rotate which ones I bring to the range which allows the occational emptying and reloading....
I open carry every day, my XD-40 fully loaded, and that includes whenever I am home and around the house and yard...when I am sleeping she is on my nightstand within reach as well as the "Mossberg 500 Persuader Tactical 12 Ga." w/ Mag. Light attached not to far away either...
I also totally agree that a purse is no place for C.C. for reasons already listed, but apparently not all feel that way....

I had to go look and see what's loaded. CC; locked and loaded. XD9sc; locked and loaded AR; loaded but not chambered. 12 ga pump; locked and loaded. All but the CC are in the safe and the CC is on me or within reach at all times. No one in the house but me and have to remember to put the CC away when the grandkids are here.
