Okay, pistols, in digital safes all loaded with one in the pipe on the autos.

Ammo, in ammo cans or in special places in ammo cans (except for 100 or so loose laying around)

Long Guns locked and ready to rock.

and one in my pocket 24/7/365 unless I am in the shower, or nekkid in bed with the mrs.... :cool:

Guess I'm a neatnik...
 
We have them stashed all over the house, out of sight. You would have to know where there at to get them. We keep them put away for the most part, unless were cleaning them. No one comes in our house, NO ONE! Not even to use the bathroom. We have been robbed, identities stolen (still fighting with the IRS over that). If you come through our front door or back door, window, etc (you as in bg) You won't leave breathing. Sorry for the anger, but we have had it.

Freezing your 1911 might not be so great if you --Mexician-- carry IWB....brrr!:eek:
 
My wife asked me last night why I had three pistols under the pillow. There's only two of us, she said. I guess she didn't figure I'd be shooting with both hands. I regularly have one, but I had taken the two off my belt that I had been carrying and didn't take them to the safe. I figured they would be out of sight under the pillow. I've yet to ask her why she was fondling my guns.

My wife dropped my Glock (in its nice Kydex pocket holster) out of the bed yesterday, and asked me if the safety was on when I came home... Whoops! I started to explain about the three internal safeties that prevent discharge without a finger on the trigger, saw a glassy look and just said "it won't fire from a drop, love you!"
 
I just hope that those who have guns lying about have no young kids wandering around.

Guns in every house should be normal. But laxity in safe storage proceedures violates our mutual responsibility to keep firearms out of the hands of those who cannot handle them safely. :)

Random ammo, cleaning supplies, gun magazines, catalogs, targets, stray holsters, etc. = normal household clutter.

Unattended guns, ... not necessarily a good idea.
 
Yesterday I ran out of tape - openned my desk drawer to get another roll and took out my RIA 1911 Compact, 2 holsters, 6 loaded magazines, 2 .38 speedloaders, a box of .38 JHP...

My wife comes in and asked what I was doing - I said, "Trying to find another roll of tape - I'm out."

She comes over, looks at the desk, turns to leave and says "probably in the gun safe..."

Love Her!
 
3KillerBs-

You are correct on the kids thing. As for me? I just got divorced(last month). No kids.

Yes the house is a little out of sorts at the moment(cluttered, NOT dirty), as I'm resetting my routines, and rearranging everything now the she's not here. Currently, I'm enjoying doing what I want, when I want, without answering to anything but my financial obligations. So sometimes when I get home, stuff just gets set down.

Maybe that's a little TMI for a public forum, but I just figured I'd toss that out here so 'ya all didn't think I'm a slob or a pig.

Normally stuff is more organized, but even then there is firearm related stuff in every room.
 
Unattended guns, ... not necessarily a good idea.

She is working at night, so one of us is always home, and the gun I leave out is generally the same one I put on when I get home.

No little ones yet, though one is cooking.
 
I leave guns around the house( just me and the dog) with at least one in every room. Most are loaded, some in holsters, some not. The grandkids come over occasionally, and I'll babysit some. Ever since the kids were old enough to walk they have been around guns. The only concession I made was to unload the ones they could reach until they were old enough to understand that they were NOT to touch Papa's guns. They NEVER touched one and treated them as not being there. Now that they are teens, they have told their friends that come over to my house what the rules are and I've never had one complaint from a parent. I have been told that there isn't a place where the parents feel that their little snowflakes are more protected than at the sleepovers here. Teach them early, and often. This is the way I was raised and there wasn't a problem.
 
for me the problem is ammo I had forgotten that I had got out part of my ammo cache yesterday and was sorting it on my bed. Well I went and stayed out late and forgot I had done that, guess I wasn't planning on actually going home last night ;) so when I got home at 3:00 AM I crawled into my bed in the dark and I found myself curled up with a couple hundred rounds of .30-06,.308,.30carbine,7.62x39 and 9mm.

so yes there is firearms and there accessories all over my apartment now If I could only find a lady who can appreciate it.

3killerbs, I'm almost offended that you would jump to that. Children does not a house make and not every house has children wandering around in it. You can probably assume that those of us that have guns around the house don't have children in the same location. I don't consider my 17 year old son a child since he shoots with me and is the only other person allowed in the safe.

Clutter and dirt are two ENTIRELY different things.

Clutter just means that you have more interests than conveniently fit in the space available. :D
 
Don't usually have firearms related things layin around unless I've went to the range or store and haven't put them away yet. Have a few knives laying around though.

Mostly gun magazines laying around, the reading ones not the ammo holding ones.

I did have to give the lefty ex-gf the boot because she made a big deal of it.

To repeat myself, "Now y' see, that's the way things ought to be!"

To iterate again and again, repeatedly and redundantly, "Now y' see, that's the way things ought to be!"

If you two ever break up, let me know right away.

Didn't even notice I was using the 12 ga. value pack of Express 00 Buck as a bookend until someone asked about it. I just got tired of having books fall over and grabbed the first heavy, square object within reach.

I couldn't find a pen in the car the other day so I jotted down a note on the back of a brown paper bag (sans whiskey bottle) with a .270 soft point I found rolling around on the floorboard. If that's not bad enough, consider that I don't own a .270 any more and started to reason with myself that since I found that bullet, I should consider buying another one.
 
I keep all my firearms in the same places, whether that be in or out of the safe.

I can certainly relate to finding accessories all over the place though. You aren't a real shooter until you pull a round out of the dryer.
 
I picked up a .40 case from the stairs leading up to my apartment the other day. I don't own a .40, it apparently got caught in my friend's cuffed pants on our last range trip and fell out right there. My range bag usually sits next to the dining room table, my rifles are on a rack in my bedroom, and I usually have my Sig and a spare mag either on me or on my desk when I'm home and awake.

I also have my reloading stuff set up on my desk in the living room. I was going to put it up before I went out of town over the weekend, on account of my pet sitter, but ran out of time. She's probably thinking some strange things about me now, and even moreso if she happened to see all the gun related magazines and books laying about on the nightstand and in the bathroom.
 
I live alone, just past the outback of beyond. Almost like a hermit, but without the antisocial strings attached. No children around, unless the old dog counts as a child, and at 17 she is almost an adult.

It is not so much that guns seem to have taken over, it's more like the home has grown around the guns. The house is an arsenal gone domestic. Guns, and ammo, holsters and gunbelts, hoppe's, gun oil, books, and slings, targets, target holders, and snap caps. It is gunny from the threshold to Jeff Cooper's Art of the Rifle sitting on top of the toilet tank. It makes me smile every time I walk in the door.

Just so no one thinks I'm a one trick pony, I like my Jeeps too. That is why there is a new Shrockworks bumper leaning against the wall, 125' of winch cable curled up by the door sitting next to a new Warn winch, not to mention snatch straps, D rings, and 15' of logging chain.

The house is clean, but the decor is early supply dump.

During the cold weather I like to bake bread. Fresh bread is great, and, if I must say so myself, I am a dang good baker. I also helps heat the house when it's 20 below outside. There is nothing better then putting a couple of loaves up to bake, then taking the dog out for a short romp in the snow. You come back in and the aroma of fresh bread, oiled steel, leather, and Hoppe's just take you to to a better time and place. It is positively Little House on the Prairie. Could make a fortune bottling that smell.
 
My wife is so used to guns being around in every room that she never asks about them. Seriously, she can come home to me sitting on the couch with handguns and rifles strewn all around me and she won't even mention it. One time I had one of my swords downstairs and that was the only thing she commented on, wanting to know why I had that out? But she didn't say anything about the Glocks laying beside the sword.
 
My wife told me today she is glad I have guns! YAY! and apparently her MOM is glad too! What a feat!
 
As my kids are grown and gone, I have guns, ammo, and supplies all over the house. Every now & again the wife gives me a goofy look and I straighten the mess up - but it doesn't stay that way for long...
