How safe is your stored ammo ??

[Flatline]

I must be an Idiot seeing how any firearm i have available IS LOADED. What's the point of having an accessible gun IF it's Not Loaded. For all the hand wringers on line, NO we do Not have Any Children.

You have time to get to a gun that is not on you but you don't have half a second to rack the slide?

It happens that quick. Each to his or her own, me they are loaded. I do not need to justify my actions to you or anyone else. You prefer unloaded good for you.
FWIW: i also carry hot too.

I guess I'm a fellow idiot as well since I keep all my defensive firearms loaded and ready to go at a moments notice. The difference being I do have "children" in the house (14 & 18 yrs), but my guns are either on me or locked up in the safe.

Count me in as an idiot! locked and loaded through out the house. I have an 18 yo. although he has more guns than some adults I know. NO Worries!

Carry Hot, Carry Often!

I would like to see that done with powders in different sized units, 1#,4# and 8#, stored in the open on shelving and in different containers from ammo cans to locking cabinets.

And yes, I cried watching all that ammunition being destroyed.

Alright...that's it. I'm taking scuba lessons. Then I'm gonna find this mystical gun/ammo eating lake.

Maybe...maybe not. Why in the name of all that is holy would you have an unloaded, defensive gun? Count me in the IDIOT category. Any gun I plan to use defensively is ready to go.

Are you going to be able to "rack" the slide when your weak-side hand is injured? Or when it's busy keeping you from being stabbed or otherwise injured? That 1/2 second might be a lifetime. Alternatively you could train yourself so you feel more comfortable with a loaded gun.
