I have to say I agree with Rob on this one. If you're going to have an extra safe I think the kids room is the most tactically strategic place to have it.

Guns don't go off all by themselves in a locked safe. So safety concerns are mitigated.

I keep a pistol and shotgun by my bed at night. But I realize some don't and keep it secured in a safe.

You cant protect your kids if you're fumbling in a safe in your room. Personally I'd rather be with the kids and trying to get into a safe rather than halfway across the house.
I'm with Rob on this one.
