"Besides when grand kids bring their friends over, I don't have to worry about them accidently finding a gun. They're in the safe except for the one in my pocket."

This is a point that I frequently make when I'm talking to people shopping for home defense weapons. I like to use the language that the firearm should be directly controlled, "each and every time, without fail, no exceptions". That means it is either in the safe, or on body. Period.

Carrying at home is the best way to make sure that you have fast access to a weapon, while also ensuring that nobody else has access to it.
