I was a police officer back when my kids were young and I went everywhere armed per department policy (nowadays it's per 4Frazier's policy). At home I kept it in the holster on top of the refrigerator for quick access in my gun belt where the kids "couldn't reach it" (bad idea, would never do that nowadays) because there were lots of times I was rushing out the door on an emergency and every second counted.

Now I have a grandbaby who's going to be visiting more and crawling soon. Since we're empty-nesters I've gotten into bad habits that I have to correct immediately. Guess I'll be looking for a quick-access safe of some kind. Of course, I could just keep it in the steel gun cabinet with the key on a chain around my neck. Maybe the American Mastiff, Pit Bull, and Chow/Aussie Shepherd Mix will hold the bad guys off long enough for me to get to it (of course, they're another reason my grandson will always be well attended by us...it's a very bad idea to leave a child unattended with a big dog, regardless of how friendly it is).


These three don't have safeties, they're always loaded, and they love me almost as much as they love my wife (she feeds 'em!).
