Stevem,

Guns are stashed in a way that someone would have to go looking for them to really put their hands on them. If I have guests that are snooping in that manner, I'll ask them not to do that, and then if they persist they'll be asked to leave.

Usually "stood" up against the wall of a cabinet, with something next to them that is not going to be used... and in the case of two of them, to actually see the weapon prior to placing your hand on it, you would have to step up on something. However, my son, my wife, my daughter and I can all access them via "feel".

However, if someone brings a rugrat over, I do take care of the shotgun under the bed....

And, I don't usually carry with guests over, as hugging would inevitably result in: "What is that thing you have on your lower back?" WHAT A GUN? ARE YOU NUTS?!?!?!

ad nauseum.
