I carry my gun with me during the day with 1 round chambered. When I get home I unchamber the round and usually set my pistol on the kitchen table, when I go to bed I put it in my dresser drawer next to the bed so it is hidden and accessible. My gun safe is hidden and bolted to the corner inside my closet covered by all the clothes hanging inside. It does not make for a good quick get to if I lock my pistol up in there that's why I have considered a handgun safe in another place from what some here has said. I have always done this with my pistol before she was born and currently. I try to practice good firearms habits and safety since I first shot and owned a firearm. I continue to try and learn daily. I may not know it all but I learn the best I can especially from info I get from other members here. Which is why I ask the question in this post because I feel it is getting time to change habits.
