I just purchased my first pistol(XD40SC)
I purchased it mainly for home protection, and will get my Kansas CCL in the next couple months.
We live in a good area, but have had an occasion incident over the past few years with people(usually drunk or high on something) from the "questionable" apartment complex a block away coming into our private community, and a few have entered a house or two.
I work from home and my office is in the front of the house by the front door and the bedroom is in the back. My question is....
Where do you guys keep your weapon for quick access when at home???
I realize that the best answer is on your hip, but that just seems a little excess(and the girlfriend would flip out). Right now, I have to move the gun room to room with me throughout the house, then put in in my nightstand at night, and hide it when I leave the house. It is just becoming a pain. I'm looking for ideas.
My girlfriend is not confident enough to use it if something were to happen when she is home alone, so that is why I hide/lock it when I am not home. I don't really want to holster it all day(I usually wear gym shorts while at home) and I don't want to be purchasing guns to place throughout the house. I realize there may not be a simple solution to this. I just want to know other people's practices. Thanks!
