How safe is your stored ammo ??

Yes & No. I replied in my normal congenial & courteous way to this sentence by another member (Flatline) You will also see i said i choose to keep one loaded, a personal choice. Not one that is or should be gospel for gun owners (loosely interpreted)
And some idiot may have left ammo in a gun's chamber, which would be deadly if it gets cooked off by a fire.

To date i have and never will understand WHY IF you own a gun for PP / defensive tool you would not have one in the chamber. His sentence could have been worded differently to something like IF you had a loaded gun AND there was a fire it might become deadly, instead of SOME IDIOT.
Obviously other posted agree with this IDIOT(me), that they too keep a loaded gun in the home. The up side to all this is no one has (yet) stooped low and started name calling.

Ah, gotcha! Its my last night on a 4 night shift (around 15hr nights) and I'm incredibly exhausted, not reading sentences clearly lol. I need sarcasm signs for clarity.

I keep some firearms in strategic places for our protection. They are loaded and ready to go in case of a house invasion. Just in case that you weren't tracking, during the 2 wars that we were fighting in Iraq and Asscrackistan many undesirables were able to join in, get the training, and get out (trust me, I was a Drill Sergeant during those times). Now those same undesirables have the skills to enter a house and clear it with the same speed as our troops.

Now the question is, do you want to be a victim? If not, keep your firearms loaded and within arms reach and when you carry, carry on red!!

No, I do not want to be a victim, hence why I have a ccw, taught the fiancee to shoot (she loves it and is getting me to the range more often too), getting her a pistol of her choice eventually and her ccw soon, have an alarm system in our house and a dog that will alert us to any strange noises outside (which she does on a daily basis) and is aggressive enough to protect us with her life.

I was reading the thread that everyone was saying "i'm another idiot" and that they were changing their HD choices and no longer keeping chambered rounds in their HD guns.

Thanks for the clarifications!
