it amazes me how many CHL holders openly admit to dis-arming and "storing" their weapons as soon as they return home for the evening..... oh, but there is a firearm available in the biometric safe that's accessable in seconds - if you happen to be in that particular room when/if a crisis developes. My opinions and methods probably vary considerably from many on this forum, but I have always taken the responsibility of protecting my home, myself, very seriously. That requires a self defense weapon of some type to be very accessable at all times
Consider how we all sit in front of our computers, or at the range or gun shop, and discuss situational awareness, and how little reaction time may be available to assess a potential threat, make the right decision, and follow up with the proper action. This is normally around 2-3 seconds if I have mentally processed all the information floating around for the last several years. In the case of a home invasion you may add another couple of seconds of preparation time if the first alert you have is the sound of the back, or front door crashing in. That's my take on the normal home invasion anyway. Personally, I can't clear the LazyBoy in 2-3 seconds, although I'm normally in my office, in front of a computer following gun talk most of my leisure time anyway. The point is, these events go down fast, and I mean real fast.
o.k..... enough of my rambling
surv
oh, one last thought:
If you got 'em, wear 'em...if you don't (got 'em), get 'em.... and WEAR 'EM!
