[A pause for the COZ]

Actually in this case its the stashed fire arm that saved him. The 7mm was in his gun cabinet. Old style glass door type. ( as most have them around here.)
the 357 magnum was in a holster mounted to the back side of the fridge.
Supposedly for use when answering the door, having it available.

In this instance it was used the other way. Allowed him to arm himself after entering his home.

Now if he is like me. I cant have a gun on work property even in my car.
Some nosy Ned would back stab me for sure. Nothing I have, would I have with out a job, So I risk it too.

I have a few stashed around here too. better to have a chip and a chair when you cant carry.

Now if you mean. Have all your fire arms in a safe. Other than your emergency sneak guns. Ok I am good with that.
Even then how many of us are top ten with that.
I am looking around my Computer/ Gun/ Mess catching room.
I see 7 fire arms sitting about for various reasons.
Do I remember to put them all back in the safe when I run to town???
You already know that answer.

I compensated for that by beefing up the door to this room and adding a dead bolt lock. ( after obtaining approval from my wife)
Just try putting a lock on your computer room door with out the wife's ok.
What do you think she will think your gona be doing in there????
-CENSORED--CENSORED--CENSORED--CENSORED-???

Any way... I lock the room up when I leave.
