John talking about a Bulldog in each bathroom reminded

me of this. Over the weekend Colleen was in No. California at a Jack Russell field trial and I was at home with the rest of the mutts. About 8 pm on Sunday night the dogs started growling and they normally don't do that unless it is someone they don't know at the door or a strange car has pulled in the driveway. I was in the Trophy/reloading room when I heard the growling. I got up to walk up the hall to the front living room and remembered I didn't have a gun readily available back in my trophy/reloading room. That made me feel a bit stupid. Guns everywhere but not where I was at the time. It turned out to be someone turning around in the drive and driving off (we live on a dead end street). That made me think a bit. If someone came in the front door and I was back in the back side of the house the bad guys would be closer to my guns than me. After that I made sure and stashed a couple of guns in places where I can get to them easily. Now John has mentioned the bathroom. And if Colleen is gone as she was last weekend and I am in the shower, well, you know the rest. So now comes a gun in each bathroom. And obviously stainless, as John mentioned with his stainless Bulldogs.

The point of this is, how many of you have guns accessible in every room of your house. And thanks to John for the ideas.

We live outside of town and both 2 & 4 legged varmints

I keep a semi-auto in the back of the house. Roman is just waiting for the chance, armed like a regiment of SAS. Chance has it the last time a big Copperhead was spotted I had a choice of a 2" .38 with JHP or a .458 Mag. Ruger 77 closest at hand with ammo. The time before, a big Coyote in the back yard, I jumped the deck railing with a blade bayoneted Chinese SKS with 10-shots of 124 FMJ-HP. Not bad for a doggie attack in retrospect. Only I jumped into a huge patch of Spurweed stickers barefooted. It was much to the mirth of my children as I hooted and yowled begging of them to throw some towels, Crocs, or mats my direction for retreat and relief. Mr. Coyote was not impressed with the commotion and decided the next county would be easier pickings.

Every farm house needs a good .410 with ammo behind both the front and back doors. It's not interesting enough to move away without proper provocation and likely always to be there when you need it. Just enough gun to get the basic job done.

Yep. All are either 38 special or a 357 mag loaded with

38 specials. We do have one in the bathroom as well. There is no where in the house where you are more vulnerable. Many don't even have a window to supply sufficient retreat. You have to make a stand. Even one stashed near both doors in case I remember at the last moment that I might need it. As well as here and there in other parts of the home.
Something else I have done is make a list of all stash guns and where they are! If ever I have guests I can pick them up. But that hasn't happened in years. A 20 ha with buck for wife and my 12ga round it all out. Oh yeah my 357 marlin is handy too!

I HAVE AT LEAST ONE IN EACH ROOM FOR A TOTAL

Always have had a good dog ,The miniature weenie dog sounds the alarm then the mastiff backs it up,I wouldn't want that big ole girl to get a hold of me. Get past her then the real bad stuff will happen,got guns stashed everywhere through out the house,and everyone knows what to do .

I have no firearms at all in the house,

I live in the suburbs of a large east coast city. The story of the unfortunate Connecticut Petit family convinced me to home carry.
