I definately do not, (DO NOT) keep one in the chamber.
If I hear a noise in my house, I am getting my semi, and then chambering one. I have a wife who has night terrors on occasion, I have a young son who will be walking soon. I need to make darn sure of my target before firing. Irresponsibility like this is reason us gun owners have to work so hard these days.
I have witnessed 2 accidents with a firearm being fired in a house by keeping one in the chamber. And sadly enough, one time was my fault. Because I always insisted in one in the chamber. I get home from work one night when I was in college, and put my gun down I always carried, and my drunk room mate came in and all heard next was BOOM. Shot a 9mm straight thru the wall into the oven.
Have you considered one of those pistol vaults that use your fingerprints as the means of opening the safe?
Yes sir I am considering it. I think it would be money well spent. Piece of mind. If they work properly
I mean I am really torn on this. On one hand, I grew up in a house that always had a shotgun auto-5 in the corner. There was a pistol in the drawer. I never gave them no mind really. But if I keep the guns from my kids, from even being around them, now they are novelty. I have a gun safe.
