how do you expect to maintain security over weapons hid out near every door? What about when you are not in the room or when you go to sleep at night.
weapons staged around the house can easily arm an intruder to a greater degree than when they entered. If you want to give a guy with a crow bar a 38 special from behind a curtain, a glock in a cookie jar or whatever, you can but I wont.
Any weapon that is "out" in the house will be under my control at all times. When I say control, I mean that I am in the same room with it close at hand.
