.45 ACP, cocked and locked on my side until I go to bed, then it's next to me.
ipscchef, Would that be a model 34?
.45 ACP ready for business on me or next to the bed when I'm in it. A .40 is in the drawer under the bed. Two shotguns in the closet(One for me one for the woman), snap cap chambered, full magazines, two slugs and more buckshot on the stock. Plenty of flash lights around as well. Browning hunting LED sits next to the .45, LED Maglite against the wall next to the 2 million candle flood light. Not that I plan on using it, I just store it there. No kids yet but when I do have some, I'll start early and often with gun safety. My guns will probably stay as is because that is how I protect my family and home.

I keep a .32acp Beretta pocketed most all the time. a Makarov under a book at front door and a .22Mag revolver hidden near a 12ga Mag shotty at back. all loaded.
Loaded and ready?
You bet. When I'm not home everything is locked in the safe. When I'm away from home a Berreta 22 is usually in my pocket. The first thing I do when I go get home is unlock the safe. That's the first thing I do in the morning as well. There one could find my Ithica 37 loaded with buchshot in the magazine only, the mini 14 with a 20 round magazine loaded with frangible bullets, none in the chamber, the 44 Mag. loaded, the 40 Glock 35 loaded with 16 rounds, the 1911 loaded with 9 rounds. The Glock with tactical light goes to bed with me every night. The wife knows how to shoot every one of them as well. Spare magazines are loaded and hanging on the safe door and walls ready to go. The cell phone sits next to the Glock every night.
Admittedly, it's easier for me since my kid is grown and out of the house. Keeping your defensive weapons unloaded is senseless, and keeping the ammunition in a separate location is insane.
Sound like paranoia? Well in the last two years, within 20 miles and sometimes closer, we've had at least a dozen home invasions, wherein at least 5 people have been killed. In one instance an entire family save the father, who wasn't home, perished.
I'll go with paranoia and preparedness!!!

didn't think it was good to keep people in the safe. How often does she get to come out?

EDC on me all day. Shotgun in bedside BackUp rack always. At night the EDC (revolver) goes into between the mattress type holster at bedside right behind shotgun. Revolver loaded and shotgun in "cruiser" mode. No kids at home anymore.
When grandkids come home, shotgun goes into attic and EDC stays in my pocket until they leave.

Children and guns don't mix! I dont allow children in my house.
Thats why Grandpa never let us in! LOL.
Just for consideration of all... If there are kids in the house, what about the loaded gun on your person, and backup magazines in the locations you would put a bug? Less dangerous, and maybe a good compromise? Just a thought.

I buy into the reality that some of the home invasions that have occurred in my community happened quickly and by force, and anything but a gun ready to go, and close enough to reach, would be of little use. Just like home invasions everywhere.
If I had to be the intended victim of such unsavory folks, I hope they're the "con their way in" type as opposed to the door crashers
