My kids are older (12, 14 and 22yrs,) but my twin granddaughters will be walking very soon, so I'll break out our small gun safe, and I'll keep my Glock 17 w/ Surefire WML attached to it in there, along with my wifes S&W 2" Model 12 .38 revolver. With our locks and dogs, we should have ample warning to get ready.

Several pump shotguns stashed at various handy places, and my EDC (usually a Browning HP or a .45 Commander) on me or on the dresser if I'm in bed.

Kids are not an issue at our house, except for occasional visiting friends/relatives.
On those occasions everything goes in the safe except for my EDC, which is on me as usual.

That is what I try to do - safest place is on YOU (reply)

I never fathered any children (by choice) and my 1st wife had 2 teenage sons when we married. I live in a small, rural town where pretty much every young man learns about guns. My 2nd wife had 2 adult children when we married. So for all intent and purpose I've lived a 'child free' life.

However, there were friends and family with small ones who would come to visit. It may be a short 1 hour visit, or it could be for a day or two. I didn't feel comfortable not having a loaded firearm I could take up in a hurry if the need arose. My solution was pretty simple. A small sliding latch/lock was placed as high as I could easily (and quickly) reach at the top of the door/closet where I would have a firearm spirted away.

I have to laugh as I just remembered my current wife had an aunt who hated firearms, all of them. She stated she simply refused to spend the night in a house where there was a firearm. She lived out of state and was coming for a 5 day stay with us. When my wife told me about the firearm issue, my reply was simple. "We don't have to tell her about them, or you can tell her about them. But who's gonna foot the motel bill for her?". She never knew a thing....

There is a push button pump shotgun lock that can be screwed to the wall (shot lock I think). Thinking of picking up a youth model 870 in 20 gauge - it would work for my young son and a house gun too.

Thats my question. If it was not for the little ones would you be the so called locked and loaded?

Thanks

Makarov hidden where only I know. Unloaded as I am deathly afraid one of the wife's grandbabies will find it. I will have to insert the mag and rack the slide in need.

I have a SW 40 Sigma downstairs with the mag laying beside it. Of course there is also a hidden AR and AK with Mags upstairs also well hidden. If the bad guys give me time they are screwed. With little kids around occasionally it is my best compromise with me and myself and my wife.

I have a pistol safe under my bed (locked down) with a loaded 40 Witness and a spare magazine. I recently mounted a light on it. I also have a Cold Steel Kukri machete hanging off the back side of the bed. A Rossi 357 is stashed elsewhere in the house in another pistol safe.

What do you all do?

For home defense I have a 226 Sig with a 15 round mag with one in the chamber in the draw of my night stand along with a extra mag and a 650 Lumen flash light (not attached). I have family members with fire arms that do not have them loaded (no children in the home) and they wonder how fast they could respond to a threat. When little ones visit my home the Sig goes in the safe. I believe I am correct in what I do. What do you all think?
