? for people with kids.

For what it's worth I have a 7 year old son who has been around guns since he was 3 and he owns a .22 rifle and a .410 shotgun, he goes shoting with me all the time and loves it to death. But besides all the gun safty talks the thing i think has had the biggest impression on him is a ducks and bucks event. (very pleased with the level of learning taught by the instructors there. And on a final note he shows no intrest in handling them when they are out or being cleaned. But as stated before never put it past them.

My gun room is in the basement. I am probably safer there than anywhere else in my house.

We take calculated risks all the time. We get behind the wheel knowing that there is a non-zero likelihood of being involved in a fatal accident. And yet we drive anyway.

It isn't exactly comfortable, nor arguably safe, to be rolling around the floors with my 2-year old playing dump trucks with a loaded handgun on my side. I also consider the risk of my curious little domestic terrorist getting his hands on a loaded firearm, and find it concerns me more than the risk that I will be involved in a violent home invasion without sufficient time to get to one of the handguns on each floor of my house.

I applaud you for your OpSec around your own house, but find it to be not conducive to my own lifestyle. However, I appreciate your concern for my well-being.

How is a firearm on your side unsafe?
I have not in all my years had a spontaneous discharge while the firearm was in the hoslter.
In fact in May when I was ejected from my motorcycle, my pistol didnt magically go off
when I impacted the car then the ground and rolled for about 100'-150'.
Also I play with my kids on the floor, outside and everywhere in between.

I have 5 kids. If you hide the firearms from your kids....that is when they get into trouble later in life.

I do understand not condusive to your lifestyle, but then again that arguement would
negate the idea of CCW. I guess I just dont understand the CCW when its convenient idea is all.
I do understand to each their own. Am glad though your on our side and not the other folks.

i have 7 kids. 6 of them are 8 and under. I wear my j frame at minimum all day everyday. i roll around on the floor, crawl around, give piggy back rides. just wear a smaller gun in a comfortable holster around the house and lock up the rest if you feel you need to.

i have shown my kids the eddie the eagle series many times. i quiz them on gun safety. the mystery is gone, because guns are an everyday part of life for us. they see guns everyday. they see me wear guns everyday.

Im not saying to leave your pistol on the kitchen table loaded.

my dad allways kept his guns loaded, also. he kept a loaded 357 under his pillow my entire life. we knew not to touch it. maybe kids who get spankings understand consequences better. i know we got plenty. it never occurred to me to mess with his firearms.

Well said. Take the curiosity out of the equation. Also kids need spankings.
I already tap my 1 year olds hands when she is doing things she shouldnt.
Hilarious to me when she gets that pitty face and then starts balling!!!!!

Just so you know I am not trying to start a pissing match. I respect a persons rules for thier lifestyle.
I am just trying to understand is all since its diffrent then what I do.

Do you guy's that carry in your house feel that unsafe in your neighborhood or is it just a lifestyle thing?

I know if I ever get to the point where I feel I have to carry my gun around inside my house 24/7 I am moving!

Honestly this problem went away when I got my CCW. The gun is on me, or is next to me as I sleep. If I have to go somewhere that the gun cannot, then in the safe it goes and I have no problems. I don't have kids, but 90% of my friends do and when they come over I never have to worry. I hate bedside safes, to me they just seem like a thief grab box that lets them get all the expensive stuff in one nice easy to carry package.

No not really, I live in a safe neighborhood. I carry all the time because you never know when you will need it, and the longer you carry the more you feel like the gun is a part of you. When I first got my CCW I felt like everyone could see my gun and there was this paranoia that I was going to screw up and flash it accidentally. But as time when on that feeling faded and I got to where I feel a little naked without it. When I wake up I put on my pants, a shirt socks, shoes, my work knife and my gun. Missing any one of the items would make you feel weird and uncomfortable all day.

You know that feeling when you reach in your pocket for your keys before you drive home and they are not there? You swear to God that you put them in your pocket but they are gone and you have no idea where else they could be. That is the feeling I get a couple times a day when I notice my gun is not there because I didn't carry. So I just make it easy on myself and carry all the time if I can.

Not at all. I fee, very safe in my home. My neighbors are kickass.

Wether its a good neighborhood or not is inconsequential.
Good and bad neighborhoods are burglarized all the time. I have no way of choosing
the time and place which I will be forced to handle a badguy.
Hence the carry all the time or dont carry at all mantra I mention to folks.

Either carry it or dont. Not much in between. Just like my safe is unlocked when I am home regardless
of the time of day. Look up the stats on a home burglaries. Its during the day when they happen the most.
My safe is in a part of the house that I will hear them gain entry from another part of the house
so there is virtually no way of sneaking into the room with the safe in it.

I even keep my doors locked when I go mess around in the gargae and Im the only one home.
One less headache to deal with if I walk into the house with a retard wanting to steal my crap.

Home invasions can happen anytime, anywhere and to anyone.

I certainly dont want to fight my way to where my firearm is. Im not afraid of fighting
or taking a few hits, I just choose not tohave to do that if I can possibly help it.
