i don't know if anyone will agree with me on this one but this is what I do so my daughter doesn't get hold of my Glock.

I have a small and cheap safe (not even a "gun safe" just a small safe) that I keep all my ammo in. keep in mind, the safe is not for protection against theft, only so my daughter can't access the ammo.
I keep a magazine loaded with Gold Dot hollow points in my pocket at all times (when I'm home) and the gun empty on top of my dresser.
when I go to sleep, the gun sleeps on the night stand next to me with the magazine in it, no round in the chamber.

I also have a 12 gauge ready to rock 'n roll inside of a long-gun safe for my wife to grab while I'm lining up my night-sights on the front door.
