to have a bad guy break in here and stick his hands in my jean /QUOTE]
Oooo now that would be bad, another good reson not to do that.
Another reason is this: some states have a left alone gun law, in other words leave a gun unattended and someone gets it and uses it. You will be charged in some states it is a felony. Nebr. is considering this due to a shooting recently. A policeman left his gun in a closet at home, his son grabs it takes it to school kills a educator wounds the priciple.
Keep it on your person or keep it locked up is the message I am getting here from these laws. So no closet carry for me.
