Thread: A gun in every room?

... how does having a gun in every room provide you a capability that a holstered and carried weapon does not? Unless you are stashing rifles and/or shotguns...

It's not really a gun in every room. Just in several strategic locations in case of home invasion.

As a side note- If you have children about, Ill offer this suggestion: Keep a loaded handgun on your person at all times (during the day) and a loaded shotgun in the bedroom closet, inside of an electronic keypad equipped safe (and keep those batteries current!). Simple enough? Yes. Secure enough? Yes. Effective enough? Yes. When it comes to sleepy time, well....you take it from there.

As far as the "well, if I had to keep a gun in every room of the house I'd just move" remarks... ???? What?

No it doesn't, it means that people like to know that they are protected, or at least have the ability to protect themselves should the...

You may have emotional issues if you don't carry while eating. You may have emotional issues if that's the only time you take it off. You may have emotional issues if you never pick up a gun. You may have emotional issues if there are guns all over your house. How often do...

bumnote "If I needed to keep a gun in every room...I'd move to a better neighborhood." ...Cause robbers never go to the good neighborhoods...

What did Patrice just say?

I've kept an eye on this thread from day one. And I've come to my own personal conclusion for this issue: I already generally keep a gun on my person at all times while I'm in my apartment, but the bathroom is one room that I don't. So, I think from here on out, I'll be keeping my Iver Johnson .22 revolver (which notoriously shaves lead and key holes) in my bathroom so that if I'm showering or in the bathroom,...
