So to all you that have a gun hidden in every room, do you take the time to lock them up when you go away? How would you like to get shot by your own gun, coming home to find someone has broken in while you were gone and found your stash, just sounds so paranoid to me. I dont ccw or even oc, I leave my doors unlocked and leave detailed house plans laying around marking the locations of my guns incase someone stops by. I dont even lock my doors because Chuck Norris is my neighbor...and nobody except the bad guys has to worry when Chuck Norris is around.

If the gun is your first line of defense, you are right. If the bad guys have to maneuver thru a deadbolted door, 2 big dogs, piles of stuff everywhere, and toys on the floor before they get to you, 20 seconds isn't so bad.Here in NJ, a miserable 'may issue' state, we can't carry except in very constrained circumstances. Yes, I carry in the home.
Your initial post caught my eye wherein you wrote something to the effect of not carrying because your arms are '15-20 seconds away'. Take it from this former Marine and combat vet, that's a lifetime when things turn bad! It's likely you'd never reach your Glocks in time. Get a holster and mag carriers and carry, carry, carry.
