I've been thinking about this issue recently. We have a 7,000 sqft home spread across 2 levels. Currently we have 1 gun in a lock box in the bedroom. If I were downstairs in the office when an intruder came in, I would have to walk right in front of him to the stairs to get to the gun. Not good! I also have 2 little ones (3 and 5 yrs old), so I would have to hide AND secure any supplemental firearms. My wife would think I was a kook if I carried around the house, as logical as it may be. So I am wrestling with where and how to secure additional "help".
