Here we actually have 4 house guns except for when we babysit the niece and nephews, and then they are secured, but one is still handy if needed. We have no children of our own.
I have a 12 gauge pump in the bedroom. We also have 3 revolvers that are handy wherever one of us is. My wife keeps her Ruger GP100 on the bed stand, she also keeps her H&K USP .45 in the console between our recliners in the living room as well as a S&W 60-10 .357 in one of the upper kitchen cabinets. Both .357 Magnums are loaded with Remington Golden Saber rounds which while still powerful are a lot less noisy and less muzzle flash. I know that she has had experiences that makes her want to have a firearm within 2 steps.
