Guns Available in the House.

[OldFatGuy]

Call me paranoid, but I'm not about to tell the internet where they can find loaded guns.

You're paranoid! Maybe not, I could narrow down the John R's in Jax, Fl to probably a few hundred. In my case, an OldFatGuy in Florida should give me some anonymity.

[JohnR]

If nothing else, thieves now have a whole new list of places to look in the next house they break into.

[OldFatGuy]

Yea, keeping it in the dresser drawer is new, they never would have thought of that. Stuffed beside the cushion in my recliner is another good one. The one in my pocket, when they pick up my shorts to get my wallet, they will probably wonder what's so heavy in my front pocket. Problem is if I'm not in them, they have to get to them, and that's when the other two would come into play and stop their progress.

All of my polymer Kahrs... don't have any all-metal ones now... are "ready" with one in the tube, as are several of my Glocks. No kids or visiting morons and Wifey is trained and okay with loaded weapons handy. My P380 stays on my hip, IWB, in case I'm moving around or go outside. I don't have to stop and put on a pistol.

I don't want to be unprepared for 4-legged or 2-legged threats. Several pistols are stored in my safe and my G30S is loaded with the LaserLyte training cartridge for practice. I do treat it as loaded until I visually inspect the chamber each time I want to practice with it, though. I have a practice of keeping LOADED guns in a holster to cover the trigger when I don't have them on me.

Spare mags are usually with the pistols, too, as are strong tactical-type flashlights.

Having professional working knowledge of how burglars function in over 99% of the cases they are in and out in short order. Meaning they want to spend as little time as possible in the residence and fail to adequately search. Thank goodness for that. Oh and the painfully loud alarm helps skedaddle them on down the road too.

[SlowBurn]

Not really. We have them at home only because home is where I keep them. Mags are loaded but chambers are not. Double check every time I touch them for any reason.

Ok, regardless of how thieves operate, etc., this is still the internet and nothing is private. But if the rest of you are ok with that, be my guest. To me, it's no better than telling your vacation plans on Facebook.

I thought you understood that there IS a difference between Kahrtalk and FB. I agree that to post your vacation plans on FB is unwise but to compare FB and KT as somehow equal is misinformed at best.

[JohnR]

Yes, there's a big difference. On Kahrtalk you can't set it so only your friends see your posts. They can read Kahrtalk in China. But they don't have our name or address of course; that's a much deeper and more difficult hack.

My G19 is either in it's holster on my hip, or within reach when I'm lounging/sleeping. Everything else is locked in the safe where it belongs.

[TheTman]

I'm rarely more than 10 feet away from a loaded firearm.

Your point is valid JR and I appreciate the cautionary advice. There is a lot of our personal lives that is probably best left off the interweb...possibly most of what we talk about here. But it would be a pretty boring place now wouldn't it?

Get well muggsy!

The whereabouts of various weapons are of course secret, however there is always a weapon within easy reach, or my GF is within easy reach. Any BG that gets in here ought to be glad if I reach the weapon before the GF reaches him.

You can check in. But you can't check out...

I live in a one bedroom apartment on the second floor.
There's only one entrance and two windows.
Not too difficult to repel boarders.
I'm not going into details on the internet.
But uninvited guests may find they have entered a Roach Motel.
