    Where do you keep guns around your house

    I was thinking about stashing a few guns in various places around my house for quicker access. Now i have a gun in my nightstand and my wife's nightstand and another gun in a drawer in the garage. I was thinking some place by the front door and maybe in the family room (where I spend most of the time).

    So where else do you keep loaded guns for protection and what type of guns and accessories (mags/lights/knives/etc)

    I can't leave them scattered around due to the kids, they're all locked up but I have them where I can get to them quick

      I have two to three around the house... They are all my CCW guns so they move around from house, to hip, to glove box. I don't have a spot for my Remington 1100 yet, but want to have that around.... And I have no kids.

        If I hadn't lost all of mine in a tragic boating accident...

        I would keep all of mine locked in my safe, except when I'm at home. Then I would keep one (handgun) on my person, and my shotgun nearby....

          I hide it on me. It's the only way to ensure quick access unless literally holding the handgun 100% of the time. By hiding them, you can't ensure possession to only yourself. That way it's either in your possession or in a locked safe.

          OTOH, if you want to go all Psych on us, you can be like Lassiter and hide a gun in a bowl of popcorn.

              I keep mine in my safe. Why have one and not use it right? I don't live in a high crime area (anymore) but I still worry that if someone was to break in while I was away. Leaving guns around the house and this happening would be all bad.

              But really, I don't like guns, they scare me.

                I have two kids. I put gun vaults throughout the house, so they aren't easily accessible to kids. Before I leave the house every morning I put the guns in the safe. The only gun that stays out of the safe is my carry. I'll get my guns out of the safe when I get home.

                  You basically covered where we have them. They're all in combo boxes (we have kids, and tons of young nieces and nephews). The one by the front door is in an inconspicuous spot with a cover over it, near where I put my keys, wallet, etc.. Everyone knows never to put anything on that spot (there have been plenty of lectures when someone did).

                  I think the garage one is important, as if you come home to something seeming off, you'd want to have something at ready access without going in.

                  Oh, and all the combo boxes have the security cables on them and/or are bolted down. It won't stop a determined thief, but it will stop a quick smash and grabber.

                    Where I keep my guns (if I had any) around the house would be my business...

                    However... I will say this, my home protection (if I had any) would be very strategically situated at to be very lethal.

                    A bad guy would not be so bad right quick if one should enter my home unwanted.

                              If some level of government had that information, what would they do with it? How would having that info benefit public safety? How would it benefit law enforcement?
