I never leave home without my Kimber SS Pro Carry tucked into my Galco OWB holster. I also have a fanny pack which stays in the car which holds my credit cards, cash, keys, and a Glock 36 which is my emergency back up gun.
When I get home, I put my Kimber on a specially made gun stand which is on my night table. It also holds an extra mag, flashlight, and my eyeglasses.
But, i am not in bed until late at night and spend my evenings (when I am at home) in either my family room, home office, or screened in patio. I keep several guns hidden about the house. They are in places that most anyone would never look yet they are easily accessible to me. About 1/2 of my gun totting buddies do the same thing. The other half think we are too cautious. I have my personal reasons.
A recent conversation got me thinking about how many people that carry daily keep guns accessible within their house?
1. Do you carry every day?
2. Do you keep a night table gun or rifle nearby?
3. Do you keep other loaded guns, rifles, or shotguns throughout the house?
4. Do you have a 4 legged early warning system and/or house alarm?
Just as a point of reference, i was once the victim of an armed home invasion robbery while I was living on the 14th story of a high rise building. I never thought I would be robbed, never mind an armed robbery. All my guns were in the safe. Never again. In fact, I was shot during that robbery and playing dead saved my life. Long, long story which I am glad I am able to tell, but not here.
