Colt Defender 1911 sits on the table next to the bed with a full magazine but nothing in the chamber.
Everything else sits in the safe, though magazines for each weapon are loaded and stored elsewhere in the room. |

My ccw weapon stays loaded. I just remove it and put it in the safe at the end of the day. I think the less tinkering loading/unloading the better.
My other firearms are all unloaded. I have several loaded mags for my Ar's but nothing in the rifles. |

That's the way I am, I have an AR and an AK mag loaded sitting on top of the safe, but the everyday carry firearm is always ready. We had some home invasion things happen not a mile from the house awhile back and I had my Rem 870 with a full tube by the bed for awhile, it made me sleep better anyway

Those are all loaded, along with 1 shotgun and 1 AR. Plenty of loaded mags/spare ammo nearby. |

IMO what he is doing is unsafe Does he have an actual REASON that taking a gun home is unsafe or is it just a "feeling"  Could it be that he has listened to the anti-gun propaganda that says....... "you or one of your family members is most likely to be shot with your gun in your home"? |

Every gun is loaded except for the bolt 22's and a gun I don't have ammo for.
However, they are all treated as loaded. |

An anti from the Philippines? I don't buy it, those are some of the gun nuttiest people I've ever met (an' I's frum Texas!). As for me, I only keep my CCW and HD weapons loaded - of course when being handled they're all "loaded". |

One loaded carry weapon, one loaded home shotgun. Everything else is unloaded and disabled. (bolts pulled from the rifles, trigger groups from the shotguns, slides removed from the pistols, Revolvers in a padlocked rack in the safe). Ammo stored in a safe separate from the guns.

No. None loaded. Mags loaded & ready but I keep my firearms empty when secured in the safe. There are four of us in the household who have access to the safe. I am not willing to risk a discharge that is not completely intended.
Flame away. |

Usually keep my walther hot on my hip during the day and, upload
the AR hot at night. I unload whatever long arm I use at night during the day. As far as having an ND becasue of loading/unloading too much......  That's got to be one of the most assinine things I've heard in quite some time. If you can't load or unload your weapon safely without NDing......Well, just send me all your guns. You probably are going to hurt yourself of somone else soon. |

I see no need to unload a carry piece when entering the house. Also, I think that ready weapons need to be loaded or they are no better than the aforementioned expensive club.
"All guns are always loaded" doesn't mean that you should always keep ALL guns loaded. It means your attitude should be such that you always assume that they are, and treat them so. It's a mindset. The guns in my safe are NOT loaded, and neither are the ones in the Armory downtown. |

There are two that are always loaded - The 870 and my CCW.
The rest are secured (from theft). |

EXACTLY right. Administrative gun handling causes more ND's than any other thing. Minimize it as much as you can. You can improve your safety even more by keeping the weapon in the holster all the time. With paddle, IWB and pocket hosters this is an easy do. Admittedly with a belt holster it may not be worth it. But a holstered weapon is a safe weapon. I have two carry guns, a G23 and a G27, each in their own Blade-Tech IWB hoster. The guns go in and out of the lockbox or safe ready to fight and still in the holster. Same for Mrs. aa's P3AT in a Kydex pocket holster. None of that chamber-check nonsense, either. This ain't Hollywood--clean it, load it, chamber it, top it up (which is your "chamber check" right there--the round missing from your mag didn't disappear into hyperspace!), holster it, done until you clean it or shoot it. Once in a while I do need to change holsters. Since these are "special" occasions it is easy to be extra vigilant during this bit of administrative gun handling. Meanwhile, all my defensive long arms are stored in the safe in "cruiser ready" condition: mag locked in, bolt closed, chamber empty, safety off. This is also the major reason hot ranges are safer than cold ranges. aa |

Carry weapon is always loaded, comes off the hip, goes in bedside safe when I am asleep.
Secondary pistol is in bedside safe, loaded mag in weapon, not in chamber. third pistol is in the other safe, not loaded, but has a loaded mag with it. None of the rifles are loaded. Shotgun MAY be, or just have shells with it. No Expert |

By "chamber check" I assume you mean "press check"? You mean to tell me that makeing sure you are in battery is Hollywood? I guess Max Joseph, Steve Moses, and, Clint Smith are just Hollywood cowboys then. There MIGHT be a reason that every professional training school I've been to uses the press check as a step in the loading process. I've said it once, and, I'll say it again; If you are unable to safely handle your firearm when it's hot, you probably should re-think your decision to own a weapon. |
