That does seem to be the case.I think too many have the mental image of a burgler at night,
I recently lost all my guns in a tragic boating accident.
I would have liked to be able to hide guns around the house, but I recently lost all my guns in a tragic boating accident.
LolBest of both worlds, not allergic to either.
Sadly, I somehow ended up with cats too.
Books are probably pretty far down on the list of "valuables".
If your gun is locked up can you retrieve it while getting your door kicked in?I don’t have a problem with guns accessible across the house but I personally believe they should all be locked down in some way.
Not hidden in a book or freezer etc. but in various quick access safes. Ok a quick access safe in the freezer or toilet is fine.
point is I personally believe guns should be secured even in a basic manner.
Book shelves probably get tipped over during ransack leaving your guns in the center of a pile on the floor.Books are probably pretty far down on the list of "valuables".

Our local LEOs say otherwise.Generally speaking in fairly well constructed homes with half decent doors folks have enough time to call 911 and talk to a dispatcher...

Two different subjects.I am also of the opinion that unless you pretty much live your life at condition yellow/orange 24/7 and have a hot firearm basically on your person
I suggest that I can draw more quickly than anyone can "reach over and hit a code" and then access and present a firearm.assailants break down your door so lightning fast to make your draw time faster then my reach over and hit a code in 2 seconds then frankly we are both screwed.
Suppose that something should happen when you are not in "one of your normal locations"?In my world having a secured arm, close by my normal locations, meets my needs and threat analysis more so then an unsecured or carried 24/7 arm.
I carry at home and elsewhere. The firearm is instantly accessible from wherever I happen to be; it is always secure, and I do not have to put it on and take it off during the day.

The several strategies can be tested.
I was speaking more of a form of FoF, with participants coming in unexpectedly with openings unlocked.Yes they can an I do practice dry fire/ laser getting to and getting rounds off in various places/avenues of my household.
What is the benefit of taking the risk?I am not saying my methods are as fast as having an arm physically on me 24/7 they are not.
It's a simple matter of likelihood.suppose the local Jamaican drug gang mistakes my house for a target, suppose. I mean I can run down a rabbit hole with this.
