Glock 21 stays loaded and out of reach of the toddler as does my pocket gun. Everything else is unloaded and locked in the safe.
Growing up in the country (still in the country) dad always had a loaded rifle or two standing in a corner by the front and back door. Generally speaking one was his Ruger 10/22 and the other was a Remington Nylon 66. These were more pest control than anything else. Dad never owned a safe, so the rest of his guns were stored unloaded in his closet or under his bed with the exception of an H&R 22 LR revolver which was loaded in a holster hanging on a gun belt over his bed post. We were taught from an early age to leave those guns alone. I keep mine locked in a safe though, because despite dad’s best efforts, we unloaded and played with those guns every chance we got. I’m not naive enough to believe my kids won’t do the same.
