An unloaded firearm is a complicated rock.

It's on my nightstand when I'm asleep. Otherwise it is in my pocket. Those not being used are kept unloaded in a safe. Usually we have 3 out at anyone time.

We live in a very good neighborhood, a gated community. Earlier this year, there were 4 breakins in one week, all occured during the day. The suspects were using a stolen Time Warner Cable truck and Time Warner clothes. My wife is home during the day. She keeps a firearm in her office.
I haven't had to use a fire extinguisher. This doesn't stop me from having 1 in each car, 1 in the garage and 1 in the kitchen.
