An article in the Feb issue of SWAT on picture frame gun cabinets had me thinking that all my firearms locked up in one safe in one room is not the best idea tactically if I'm in another room if I threat bursts through my front door.
I don't live in a huge house where if I heard a noise of someone wanting to get in, I could run to another room and prepare myself and weapons. I live in a small condo where if someone feels he wants to break in while I'm in one room sleeping, in the bathroom taking a shower, in the kitchen cooking dinner or right by the front door in the living room watching TV that there isn't much time for me to react once the threat enters or to prevent that threat from entering.
While I am at home, I don't carry my weapon on me nor do I lay a rifle against my couch or a handgun on top of my coffee table.
However, since I live alone and don't have anybody such as children to worry about finding any of my firearms, this gives me a some options of not locking up all my firearms in one safe and place a couple in strategic places where whatever part of my condo I am in, I'll have a fast and quick access to a weapon without having to run to a certain room to unlock my gun safe before the threat gets to me first.
Ideas like having something that looks nothing more then just a regular picture frame actually holding a weapon for me ready to use or mounting a gun holster or shelf under a table or anyplace out of sight to visitors which will secretly hold a weapon for me to use in case of an emergency is something I should seriously consider.
