Guns around the house

Sorry for the long post but I believe experience is the best teacher and best if learned through someone else’s.

That's good info - thank you for posting.

A note of advice, add a little white space (i.e. the return key twice) - it helps keep your postings readable.

I guess I'm missing something here...no disrespect. It seems like the OP is trying to "solve" a problem that doesn't need to exist in the first place. Carry when you're at home, sidearm and one spare mag...problem solved.

My daily carry. home or away, is some sort of pocket pistol.
If I had a situation at the house with a hostile intruder, I want to have something a bit more potent to go to, without twirling the knob on the safe.
So we do have the usual bedroom hardware - nightstand pistols, and a short-barrel pump.
But i also keep a revolver in the office and a 1911 in the library. Both are in those "daytimer" cases and sitting among the books in the bookshelf. I can find it in the dark easily. And if I need to check something out outside, I'm just carrying a book.

Not the ideal situation, but it works for me.

Wally 775,

All of the advice you give is good. And I DO carry my pistol pretty much 24/7. However, if I have the time, I go to ole' Bessy. Bessy is a Remington 870 12 ga 3". I have several hidden in my house. False door Jams are a door to a place where Bessy lives (She has a sister too). Cannot be seen, are up high enough and hard enough to open, to keep kids out.

If I have to use my pistol, I will. However, I like ole' Bessy better.

Can you elaborate on how those are made, or how they work?

Hmmm, seems to me one a kid (any kid) sees you open it, it will NOT be too high, or too hard to open to be safe from them.
