I own several weapons that would work well for home defense, but I have a delema. My worry is this: if I store a weapon in a way that gives me easy access when I am home, doesn't that give an intruder equal access if he/she breaks in when I am not home? I would hate to come home from work or the store and find myself looking down the barrel of my own weapon because I walked in on a home invasion. I have no children so that isn't an issue. Right now I keep a 1911 in my bedside table along with my PPK/S that I use for CCW. Any thoughts?
