All very good responses. Thank you for the insight. I have been around guns my whole life. Was an avid hunter when I was younger, was on a rifle team, and later, on a pistol team. The firearms that I owned, and the firearms that my father owned (when I was a boy) were always unloaded...

The OP has been around guns all his life. I have always safely locked my guns up. Perhaps the way I asked the question was lacking. What I needed to know, was how to have a gun "ready to use" in a self defense type senario at home and still keep my kids safe, as I originally planned to have...

What went wrong with your Rossi?

I need a dedicated nightstand gun. It will probably spend most of its life being bored. Anyway, I can afford a nice S&W (model 640 comes to mind); BUT, if I decide to buy something less expensive...say a Rossi 351...then I can also buy something I can actually enjoy out at the range with my...
