I think he doesn't know how forums work.OP said this is not a discussion
So why are people replying?
This thread should be OPs post and that's all.
Reading is fundamental people.I think he doesn't know how forums work.
Good points, thanks.One thing that makes muggers, car jackers , armed robbers and rapist so successful is the element of surprise. Most likely, you will be under attack by the time you have a need or legal justification to even draw.
When you need it, it will likely be at close range where the distance can be closed to face to face in less time than it takes to draw and chamber a round. The will be attacking before you even have it out let alone ready to use.
The odds are, when you need it, you needed it 2 seconds ago. Not now. Not later.
If you are worried about an accidental trigger pull, keep it in a holster that covers the trigger. Or a better firearm.

First off, no one is mad at YOU. Thicken your skin or move on. Some people become blabbering idiots sometimes.I am shocked by the fact some people are so mad at me for asking for their opinions that they literally lost their ability to read
Well I'm special.We all think we’re special when we’re not.

You, like most of the Nanny public, get to much info from the news. Or people with an agenda.Good points, thanks.
To be clear - I'm more concerned of the probability of someone getting access to my loaded gun, somehow (e.g. a mistake on my behalf).
So what I'm trying to "compute" is the probability of me making a mistake vs. me not handling a situation well due to unloaded gun.
I think you (and a couple of others that chose to reply seriously) make a strong argument, and I do consider changing my process for some scenarios. With that said, for me, a loaded gun in the house is still too much risk, due to the present of children.

I'm kind of slow so would you expand on the highlighted section of your post, please. Maybe a few examples, etc. Thanks.I never leave it lying around in the house, it's always in the safe.
My concern is a human error on my part, that may result with damage. The probability is super low, but so is the probability of the other scenario, so it's all about personal risk management.
You remind me of somebody....I just can't place who it is.I never leave it lying around in the house, it's always in the safe.

Another question please: What do you do for self and family protection while you and family are at home? Do you have to go to the safe to get your gun if you hear someone breaking in?I never leave it lying around in the house, it's always in the safe.
