Keeping a gun at the ready?

[The Night Rider]

That would depend entirely on how CLOSE? you are to the coffee table.

The picture I posted last night is accurate arm's length.

AND I'm big on program compliance. If I leave the couch the gun goes with me. It's 730, I don't move around a lot this time of night. If I go to the bathroom the gun goes with. If someone knocks on my door the gun DEFINITELY go with while I tell who ever in not interested and I'm not opening the door.

There's no one here but my wife, my cat and myself.

Wife knows I carry

Cat doesn't care.

In my world friends don't just drop in.

I don't need to be convinced that accessing a pistol on a table next to me can be done more rapidly from a sitting position than drawing from a covered OWB holster. I accept that. I do not see how anyone could argue with it.

However, we do have visitors on occasion, and keeping the gun out of sight is preferable for us. Keeping the gun in a holster accomplishes that, and it also minimizes gun handling, at the expense of a somewhat slower "draw".

Usually if my gun is not on me, like while wearing jammies and the like, the gun is next to me. Not too much worry up here, but where I came from, it was a must. Old habits, but I doubt I'll change.

Couple of things would a EMP lock up my safe digital keypad??
Don’t see much communication (on These post about flashlights ,on Gats or handy )family NO shoot please
Know the laws , in AZ. If you shoot and the Perpetrator (in your house/kicking your ass )
Passes the charge is murder on you !!

@ Night don’t backlight yourself short use flashlight only !!!!
Don’t stand in front of the closed n locked door /outside/inside

If an EMP hits, you will have a lot more to worry about than not getting into your digital safe! I hope you don't have every thing you own, locked up in a digital safe.

I'm not weird, just wanting to be prepared for that unexpected.
Fellow gun enthusiast out there do the same?

Nope. Nor am I afraid to go outside in fear of being struck by lightning.

I've been bad about keeping a gun on my person. I got fat, honestly, and that made carry uncomfortable.

Having said that, I'm currently relaxing in my favorite chair, with my favorite shotgun leaning in a corner right behind me.

I too am fat. I ankle carry a Glock 43/43X when I go out wearing jeans or pocket carry similar when I am wearing cargo pants or shorts. Unfortunately I don't think I have ENOUGH fat to stop the projectile from reaching my gooey parts.
