If it's in the safe, it's unloaded. If it's out of the safe it's loaded where legal to do so. (Longarms loaded in vehicles is a no-no here.) I do keep a few magazines for my CQBR loaded in the safe so if I need something better than a handgun I can get to one quickly.

1. On hip... loaded
2. In under-bed safe... loaded
3. On door of safe... loaded

The rest are currently unloaded. But always subject to adjustment as necessary. ;)

Yep, I also have a terrible loss to report ... <boo hoo> all were lost at sea ... sadly, the ammo went overboard when the rogue wave swept across the deck.

Before then, the three in my avatar were always loaded as they were the carry guns and extra mags loaded in range bag (each gun had it's own range bag.)

Then there were the long guns in the safe ... none of them were loaded ... they were locked in the safe downstairs in the basement.

The range long guns, however, were spread around the house in their cases with full magazines ... .30 - .308 cal, 10 - 30 round mags. depending.

Then there were also the CZ 75B and DD's .380 always loaded.

I just feel so sad about the tragedy at sea ... out in the Gulf of Mexico ... the cordite went with them, too.

I seldom have more than one gun loaded in my home. My carry gun is my HD piece and it is loaded all the time. I havemore than 5 firearms. Too many to keep loaded when not in use at the range. And some of them are, unfortunately, more collector type guns. I don't really want to shoot them. Doesn't make sense to load them up.

The responses so far are kind of surprising. Several people (with several guns) had "All" their guns loaded. Whoa. I guess that happiness is ... a loaded gun. Or...many loaded guns.

Excellent question, ctf. It provides insight into the gun owners/carrierscommunity.

I wonder who has the most loaded guns at home? Who can claim the record?

I believe all mags should always be loaded, therefor all mine are.

Typically my long guns aren't chambered, because here in occupied America it's illegal to transport a rifle or shotgun loaded in a car. If I'm going to go to the range, the magazine gets popped out of the mag well, and set in the case next to the gun.

Greetings to all,

I like this question. I have always been inclined to keep quite a few guns loaded, When I was raising my kids I gun proofed them instead kid proofing my guns.

I keep my everyday gun Glock .45 loaded 8 in a 10 rounder unless in a bad hood. The Mrs. likes to keep the 1911 handy. Like alot of the posts that I read a shotgun is common. I keep my winchester 1300 defender riot pump fully loaded 00 buck. AR 15 just because I can, Ruger 10/22 and a Single Six .22 Mag for the young men when they are home.I guess I feel safer and I agree with anyone else who loads for bear and keeps the young'ns safe.God bless you all.

Sincerely, Defensor

That's him! Was he wearing a Brady Campaign Confiscation Team t-shirt and reeking of latte?

Out of our collection I generally keep 3 loaded.

870 Remington - loaded, but not chambered

.380 - loaded, not chambered

.45 - loaded and chambered (within my reach)

The others are generally unloaded. We do have 2 little girls (that have been and are being educated on gun safety and shooting) to think about.

Without telling the world how many I have, lets say the personal defense oriented weapons are all loaded extra ammo-mags at hand "and" hidden but easy to access, expect the one is on me at all times which has a spare next to it.

The "others" are in strategic hidden places loaded with ammo-mag's at hand, the rest are hunting rigs that are unload and stashed but have ammo with them.

None of my weapons are out in the open except the one on my hip the second larger one placed on my far corner bed-night stand. ;)
