Sammy’s scary experience and the thread on how much time it would take to get armed has me thinking a lot about my own security and time it would take to be able to defend my home.

I currently leave the spoons in a locked case and the ammo in a separate ammo can. It would take at least a full minute to be locked and loaded. I might as well grab the family, hide in the closet, and wait for the cops to show up. Every door and window is alarmed, so I would get a little advanced warning, but I probably would not even hear somebody busting in the front door until it went off.

I want to hear what guys w/ kids are doing to be prepared and keeping the kids safe. I know that it’s important to teach them about gun safety, but they still need to be inaccessible and my daughter isn’t old enough yet, which does make it easier to keep it inaccessible, for now. What kind of safes do use? Where do you use them? Where is the ammo? What else do I need to think about?
