Im really curious to see how many firearm owners have loaded firearms in their house (in case of a breakin/robbery/etc).

[JReeves997]

2 Loaded. Mossberg 500 by the bed, Glock 33 in a holster for CCW.

[animator]

I don't keep mine loaded. I do keep a loaded mag handy though.

[Fullmedaljacket8]

I keep my mossberg 500 unloaded but buckshot is in hands reach.

[macho999]

I keep all mine loaded.

[Fullmedaljacket8]

If I could I would {cry}

[Fullmedaljacket8]

Yea my mossberg 500 cruiser is in 20 gauge and it has a pistol grip.

[Kreig Hund]

When i get a house i will.

[Admin]

All firearms should be considered loaded not matter what!

[QUOTE]All firearms should be considered loaded not matter what!



I'm not sure that is a correct statement. If your using it for defense I think you better double check and make sure it's loaded as asuming it is loaded could get you into trouble in a defense situation.

[Mussb]

My parents would kill me if they found that I had a loaded gun in the house. My ammo is locked up.

[emclean]

the line of fire from my bed room to the front door could be crossed by either of my kids, i have a battle ax!

[ljungman42]

I would.....but thats a Jail worthy offence up here. D> Oh well....

[ShmodZilla]

I usualy keep my alby sks loaded for the house. WHen i finaly get some spare cash ill get another pistol for in here even if its soemthing cheap.

[MikeMercy]

just a 30-30 with some ammo attached in a butt sleeve. it's a good setup.

[Dieter122]

yeah, i personally dont keep either my 10/22 or my Yugo loaded, though the ammo is very readily available. No kids live in my house, and I dont worry about my parents toying with them while im gone. I really need to get a cabinet for them however...

[rpmua]

I've just got the Derringer by the bedside, two rounds in it but the chamber is open...soon, my USP will be sleeping quietly next to me. But she'll be noisy if she's awakened by some intruder!

[diploid]

My At-9 is a the foot of my bed unloaded with a loaded mag next to it.

At-9? What is that? Post a pic

[machineguneddie]

mine are all unloaded but I have lots of loaded mags close at hand

[Tube]

loaded, with chamber empty

[mabzie]

i keep my 1911 loaded.

[mr.trooper]

the AT-9 is a civilian semi-automatic subgun chambered in 9mm parabellum, with 25 round detachable box mags, padle mag relese, with a barel shroud, a pistol grip and a colapsable stock manufactured by Feather industries in .22lr and 9mm chamberings ( the AT-22, and AT-9 respectively...) they retailed for $329.90 direct from Feather industries before the 1994 ban.

i dont think Feather industries is buisness anymore..


i keep a Parker Stanless steel .45 under my pillow at night. loadd mag in it, but nothing in the chamber, and hammer un-cocked.

This has been sorta' interesting.

No kids here, so the handy handguns are all loaded fully and with safety off. If I can lay my hand on a gun and pull the trigger it will go off.

Just added a pistol grip Mossberg 500 12-gauge to the collection. It will have the magazine loaded, safety off, but none in the chamber. I want someone coming in to hear that loading sound. Of course they will hear the six dogs first.

man, you cut down on what your reaction time is by having them loaded and safety off..thatd scare a bit though.

[bigrob89]

mine is locked but i could have acess in about 6 sec. becuase i have kids i keep it locked. the mags are in a safe spot locked. it really dosnt take anytime to get it ready.also i got 3 locks on the front and back door and saftey bars on the windows with those removable fire locks nothing can get in but we can get out. the kids are special needs we have some funny child proof gadgets

I keep loaded handguns in the house. A few, however in a couple years, possibly sooner I will not be able to. As the little one grows it is going to become impossible to keep a loaded firearm out of his reach. Ideally, I would like to have guns loaded, ready to go around the house.

I only wish that I could...

Responsible gun ownership...

They were out of business for a while but they are back. http://www.featherusa.com In my opinion they make some of the best guns around.

Actually, my At-9 is quite old, and doesn't have a padle mag release it has a push style release. Here's a picture.


PS: I am aware of the irony of owning a 9mm which is in contrast to my signature.

[DmULibRoles]

[mr.trooper]

so, whitch are you?

[warlock]

I keep one weapon loaded at all times.

I'm single with no kids.

My residence has been broken into multiple times before I moved in.

[marswolf]

I'm lucky. I live sorta' in the Boonies. Well off the main road but with neighbors who might see someone prowling around in the distance. Someone is almost always here and my wife is about as good a shot as I am and has a background in criminal justice.

If some perp makes it through the six dogs and my 12 gauge and Beretta, they still have to deal with my wife's S&W 10-5. I wonder if the poor guy would even be recognizable?

Hopefully he is just a panzy... ok>

[trever1t]

I keep every gun i have loaded at all times. I take a different one to bed with me each night and the other ones in my safe. That way they dont get lonely.

Seriously though, an empty gun makes a very poor hammer and if i am to choose self defence i will be prepared the instant necessity requires. I dont want to fumble around looking for magazines or speedloaders half asleep when the purp is very much awake and in my house.

That all said, i dont have any young'uns runnin round to worry 'bout, and if i did i would probably still keep one under my pillow B{

[jbolton]

Browning Hi Power 40 S&W, and Mateba .357 my side of the bed, S&W mdl 10 my wife's side of the bed, 107 lb. German Shephard at the foot of the bed. Pit/Shephard mix in the spare bedroom.

All guns locked in safes when no one's home.

[Gun_Nut]

You guys are paranoid. I dont live in a city of crime but thats some really crazy safety procedures

[Dave.45]

I don't live in a "big bad city" either, but I do realize that crime doesn't care where you live, it can find you, if it doesn't considder yourself lucky, if it does, I hope you are prepared for it.

I have to answer no to this question for now, as I'm still living in my parents house (saving money for a GOOD place of my own, not some trashy apartment) and they asked that I keep my gun unloaded and locked up, and I respect their request, as they still allow me to keep it in the house.

Once I do get my own place, I will keep my loaded gun near me (in a lockbox/safe) for home and personal protection. I understand if someone brakes into my home, I will call the police from my cell phone, grab my firearm, my family, and flee the house and wait for the police. if I do not have to confront a badguy, I won't, but if they try to attack me or my family while I'm trying to get away, I want to be prepared.

[e7longrange]

1911 mag loaded, chamber empty. With grandkids around by the time they are physically able to pull the slide back they have been taught not to.
