my strategy is simple.
i live alone. i keep the bedroom door locked. if you break in and i hear
you in the living room, i'll call the police and wait. if you try to break
the bedroom door down in the interim (can't imagine why you would, but if
you did) you get shot through the door by a large calibre handgun.
it's a simple plan
if my kid is over, the guns stay locked up. it puts me at a large
disadvantage, but i can't see having any sort of loaded weapon around a
child.
i keep a .45 in the car and carry it into my office. our office park is
secluded and has a history of crime, including violent crime. when i leave
at night, i am almost always the last one in this area to leave, but i'm
carrying the .45
i also have a .380 keltec that is so light i can wear it anywhere as easily
as wearing a cellphone.
i think i've got it fairly well covered

the reality or this matter is you are no safer with a gun in your home
than without as a matter of fact firearms can and have been used against
the owner either by a thief ( rarely) or during a domestic disturbance (
common)
my point here is a crook breaks
it might be at 4:00 am will a person be able to do all of the necessary
stuff quickly,quietly and legally
think about it... you are sound a sleep and all of the sudden your wife
wakes you and all hell breaks loose can a gun be retrieved loaded police
called and on and on???
and what if you found later it was your son sneaking in from a late
night with his buddies ????
I have more guns than the navy
I don't want ppl to be disarmed ...ever
what I want is for folks to at least understand is guns can and often
are stolen and later used against regular ppl
it seems like most ppl who own firearms never receive any training in the
care storage and use of them ( just going off to a range or shooting a few
rounds off into the woods aint gonna get it
AND HAVE NOOOOOO IDEA of the law
it is my strongly held belief for home protection a 410 pump shotgun
with 00 buckshot is really the way to go
A its is intimidating as hell ... you rack a pump gun in any house
EVERYTHING STOPPS!!!!
B it has the unequaled stopping power of a 41.cal. magnum
C it for all of its power can be fired quite comfortably by a woman
D ammo is cheep
it can also be used to hunt ,sport shoot , and the gun does not cost a
lot to get the thing
ideally it could be loaded, and locked with the cable lock made by
mossberg running thru the action so it could not be closed and therefore
fired the gun can be locked to a radiator or something heavy in a bed room
multiple keys then made and placed in strategic locations .. unlocking is
simple
lastly
by the time recruits are taught anything about firearms its AFTER 7
MONTHS OF ....LAW
LAW...LAW!!
our "one hour firearms course" has been expanded to 3 weeks! 500
rounds in the morning, 500 rounds in the afternoon
weapon retention , combat shooting, judgement, firearm safety, cleaning
,action drills,
then go run (fast)... stop!!! draw weapon and shoot accurately...
it goes on and on
I am sure you had the same training we did
I an sure you have actually picked up dead kids all shot to hell
I am sure you have seen the parents of these kids in anguish
I am sure you have talked to ppl who thought you could get a gun , make
there home safe ,and a tragedy happened
I am sure you have heard that single bagpiper playing amazing
grace.. and the 21 gun salute that follows....
so keep giving these people advice on keeping a loaded firearm in the
house around kids
because I am sure about you

I agree with you 100 percent. I was raised in a house with loaded guns
available all the time, and we never played with them. We were taught
what guns could do. We watched livestock and game die from a gunshot, so
the danger was impressed on us. Nowadays, folks don't want to
"traumatize" their kids, so the kids never really KNOW the dangers of
discharging a firearm.
Also, Mr. Policeman and his ilk think that because they took a one-hour
course in firearm training at the academy, they should be the only ones
allowed to carry weapons because they KNOW how to handle them.
I think the weapons should be taken away from the cops for a while so
they could experience being disarmed while the criminals preyed on them.
I think they would change their tune.
Just my 2 cents.
