As long as you have your family all together, and not spread out all over the house, you have no reason to clear the house. Just keep the entrance to the room you're in covered.
My CHL instructor told us that it's a bad idea to have a gun within reach. Even under the bed. He said that if a bad guy gets to you before you can reach you gun, you did something wrong. IE: not put on good locks, etc. He recommends it in a safe.
