Also Please clarify How I am asking for trouble?
Statistically? More people dial 911 over a dog barking than a woman screaming, statistically.
Off record most LE's will tell you a gun is useless if it's not loaded.
You seem to be another gun owner who knows what is better for me than i do. MMMMMMMMMM Where have i heard this shit before?????????? Oh yeah, VPC, Dems, why even on firearm boards. Tell you what, you do what works best for you and your comfort level, I will do and practice, what i know is best for both my wife and I.
Jim is right on here IMHO. I either have a gun on me or within a second or so reach at all times in my home. The ones that are not on me are far out of reach of the 7 year old.

How am I asking for trouble again?

Finally, I think most people in general would tell you an unloaded gun is just a hunk of metal. Like a car without fuel is a hunk of metal. <sigh>
