Our personal preference. CC pistols have a round in. However, when not carrying the CC's, those are in a safe and further, in a holster in the safe.

All other firearms, including those locked in quick access safes, don't. The ones in quick access safes do have full mags, but everything has to be racked. The view is that we go with the CC's. Everything else has a high likelihood of going to the range etc, and there is time for safety in case someone forgets something on that end.
