the magazine won't do you any good in your pocket either in my opinion. The best place for the magazine is in the firearm unless of course you have a particular reason for not having a loaded magazine in your gun.I've seen in the paper, here, as of late, 3 home invasions in 30 days. The first were caught, but now come the copy cats. I thought I would be safe out on the edge of the 'burbs. But now I've gone to, not so much OC at home, but (weapon) available, with the magazine in my pocket- for comfort. The machine won't do me any good locked in the gun vault. I haven't announced my decision to my family. Just strategically placed my weapon as to get to it. And for some time now it will "go to bed with me". Just throwing it out there for discussion, and wondering who else? And where else?

There are 2 loaded Glock 19's, one loaded AK-47, and one loaded AR-15 in my house. The family knows where they are and that they are loaded (even the little ones :ghasp: ) and they all know how to use them.I haven't announced my decision to my family. Just strategically placed my weapon as to get to it.

So when they're caught the danger is past?In any event, the recent home invaders are still out there, and haven't been caught yet. They come in groups, and armed, according to the paper.
Thanks for the input guys. And your right in many respects. right now I'm just waking up to the reality of it; that's it's not going to get any better out there. This is a big first step for me, out of the gun vault, and available. I agree totally that it won't do me any good without being loaded, and may be in another room from me when needed. But like I said, it's my first steps on this. Damn shame the world has come to this, and that I'm not alone about active home defense. I'm going to be subtle about it, as not to attract the kids attention in the house. My wife did notice the magazine sitting out with me, and said nothing. Slowly either she's seeing the reality too, or is becoming desensitized to a weapon around the house. Kinda hard to carry it on me in those damn draw string lounging pants! I'm even looking forward to how this progresses, as I don't know yet either. In any event, the recent home invaders are still out there, and haven't been caught yet.

The warm glow of the night sights on my Glock 21 within reach from my bed lulls me into a peaceful euphoric sleep reaching for the arms of morpheus nightly.
