Please tell me what the point of having a home defense gun, locked away to where you would be raped and pillaged before you could access said gun? You could teach your kids to respect, handle, and ultimately leave guns alone in your house, and place them out of reach if another kid visits.
We'll be reading about this guy in the paper eventually.

So you dodge the question?

As the gun owner you are responsible to the safe keeping of that gun, for some, who do not have kids, never have any over, and never have anyone in there house that would touch it, then leaving on a nightstand fully loaded is acceptable, others need them in a full locked safe. I keep all of my "good guns" in my safe (which I would never be able to get into in an emergency) and my 357 in a small biometric lock box next to my bed
to answer your question, if you are that worried then you should keep your weapon on you at all times, and not go for the convenience leaving it somewhere

this is placing the responsibility on the kid, and there is nowhere in a house that is "out of reach"

Youre talking about putting all the responsibility on a young, curious child. I understand that you can raise a child right, but as a kid, they're still gonna be curious. If someone breaks in my home, I can get my gun out of my lock box in about 2 seconds.

my buddies dad hides them in suits and dresses in his closet and behind a jacket hanging by the front door.

Taped under the coffee table
On top of an 8ft bookshelf
Hooked under clothes furniture with mirror thing(dunno the names of furniture)
Best place to hide stuff that doesn't get used much is in the attic under insulation IMHO
Those are just some easy spots that you don't need a safe for

Hide them in your work boots.

I think its a case by case situation. Boys are way more likely to be curious bout guns than little girls. I agree with storing the guns properly, and my CC is the only one in my house with ammo in it. But I have heard stories of people having their doors kicked in while sitting on their couch.

And if I put my gun in a china cabinet or on top of a fridge, I know my daughter will not be climbing up to where she could reach it because she isnt a heathen.

It definitely is case by case, if you feel comfortable doing what you, then do it man.

Honestly, I am also wanting to think ahead about possible hiding places in case the Gov't decides to come knocking and asking...

This.
Plus concrete xray equipment to view through floors, etc.
If the "gov" comes looking, don't think it will just be a glance around, or even just a trashing of the residence.

if the "gov" comes looking like that, you have done something to raise a flag or make them suspicious. No way, there will ever be a mass gun search on regular civilians and their households.

My next house will have a walk-in gun safe and an entire goddamn hidden room.

It's great for a active parent to teach their child gun safety. My concern as a parent was not whether MY children would play w/ one of my guns unsupervised, but that SOMEONE ELSE'S child who as visiting at my house would play w/ a gun. And no one should say that couldn't happen at their house. We should ALL recognize the power of peer pressure; how many times when one of use was growing up did we let a "friend" talk us into doing something we knew not to do?..... I could see a visitor who's NOT trained in gun safety pressuring one of our kids to "show me some of your dad's gun!" Yes, teach your children gun safety, but protect the guns, as well.

well thought out post. In my earlier posts, the gun i was referring to that stays in the room with me, stays with me everywhere i go. There is no gun left in my house when im gone, that is not in safe storage
