Anyway, we frequently have other people's children at our house, and I cannot be sure (esp. here in CA) that they have been reliably trained in gun safety. Our bedroom is upstairs in a location that is defensible, and my wife is a very light sleeper. The lockbox is one of those 5-button ones that is very quick to access if you know the combo and have practiced, yet plenty good enough to defeat a curious toddler should one find it. I live in a fairly low crime area. Given all that, I have made the conscious decision to sacrifice a small bit of my safety for the sake of preventing an accident.
That's different than sacrificing your own safety foolishly in order to make a scary noise and hope. Are you actually advocating the idea of entering the fight without a round chambered so you can make the scary "racking" noise, or are you just being difficult for fun?
And yeah, I know the rest of that stuff. Yay for me. What difference does that make with regard to any of these arguments?

Eh I posted when I just woke up so ya, you could say my cheerios were pissed on. I could say the same for you, we have not been seeing eye to eye latley but its all good phil.
Just pointing out something I did find entertaining.
As I said soon as you grab your gun you should be putting a round in the chamber. But I do not necissarily find it all that important to have one in the chamber while its sitting in the closet, under the bed or wherever.
What I will do versus someone without the training or the knowledge of the OP is kind of Irrelivent so I am keeping it on a amature level for him. I also do not have any children so again, I can leave a pistol or rifle hot and laying around if I so choose.
Personally I will run drills untell I start getting tired, then I give it up for the day. Want to keep the mucle memory smooth.
