Most of mine are seperated from the ammo, and I probably wouldn't be as comfortable keeping a loaded revolver, but an "accident" simply isn't going to happen with the .45...it'd be an "on purpose"  . I'm a nut when it comes to firearm safety...haven't picked one up without checking the chamber in 40 years, but imo some of the "rules" are for casual owners to adhere to, and they probably should. |
I'd agree with this. One gun loaded, nothing in the chamber, inaccessible to just anybody.
Rick, I don't really think you're an idiot. Just another misguided conservative.
Still kidding. But I just don't like to hear people talking as if their homes are littered with loaded handguns. Yes, I have a respect for guns that is similar to what Jeff described. And I like guns. I have killed many game animals. My household decisions are a function of my understanding of both guns......and humans. Indeed, sometimes you guys talk as if you are not aware of the frequency with which people are killed by their own guns. Same attitude as 18 year-old boys. Yes, you understand the danger (you say), but you KNOW it can't happen to you. And you think the gubmit is poised to take away everyone's guns. Get real. One loaded gun, nothing in the chamber, out of reach of anyone but myself......is a far as I will go in my own home. I can't tell you guys what to do, but this is my suggestion.
