[SLCDW]

One .45, one 9mm, two. 38s and two K9s.

 

[Muss Muggins]

I don't really keep track. I assume they're all loaded if they're out of the safe or the gun room . . .

 

[Stevens]

The two handguns in the night stand top drawer, easy to reach from the bed. That drawer has a keyed lock, and is locked as needed, kids visiting, service people in house etc.
I grew up in Aguirre, Puerto Rico 1952-62, a wonderful place!

[heeter3]

I always have a revolver teed up.

 

[delcrossv]

It varies. Presently 4. 3 revolvers, one semi.

 

[BigNC]

Old Remington Speedmaster .22 LR, a 308 bolt gun and an old single shot Monty Ward 16ga are empty. Otherwise loaded. . There are 3 of us left at home and many rooms!

 

[pawngal]

Enough......

 

[Mike_Fontenot]

Assuming most of us have more than one firearm in the home, what percentage/number of them do you keep loaded?

I have 9 handguns. I keep all of them loaded.

 

[Rushing1]

Locked and loaded

An empty gun ( to me) is useless.
ALL are loaded and treated so.

The old rule: " treat every gun as loaded" has a hidden meaning.
You have to learn to "read between the lines."

 

[sotexas]

XDM 10mm + spare mag on nightstand, 44mag (10) lever action with red dot in the corner and my 2 carry pistols on bookcase

 

[robertrwalsh]

A 165 # dog, a 9mm and an AR.

 

[sousana]

Every handgun and shotgun and semi-auto rifle are loaded, but only the one on me and the ones strategically placed throughout the house are one in the chamber. I will say though, that in each room instead of a 1911, I have a S&W 325 thunder ranch in 45acp with viridian laser underneath the bbl.

 

[michael1000]

I ain't sayin'. Just come into my house unwanted and you'll find out!

 

[CALREB]

100 percent of guns not in safe are loaded.

 

[kraynky]

Probably all but 2 or 3 are loaded. I treat them as they are all loaded, but there are a couple of deer rifles not loaded. I'd say 95% are loaded, and probably about 75% of the mags are not loaded.

They're easy to unload if a family member want to see one for themselves. I rotate my carry guns often, and they stay full of defensive grade ammo. The plinkers typically have wadcutters or ball ammo.

And all of my knives are sharp too.

 

[JMM7424]

Guns? What guns? What ammo? I sold everything before I moved out of Illinois. And oh so sadly, all the paperwork I had was lost in the move. Oh darn. So come on in through any door in the middle of the night. We'll chat...

 

[rjroberts]

I always have a loaded LCP II in my pocket. Sitting on the porch, doing yard work....

I keep a loaded M&P 9mm in my nightstand. (No children or grandchildren)

Since I have a police officer living across the street, I'm confident he'll take care of any miscreants that wander into the dead-end street, when he's home. If away on duty, well, that's the criminals unlucky day. If they're smart, as in wise up looking down the barrel, they'll wind up with three hots and a cot, and a new suit.

 

[biku324]

Dunno if it's relevant, but we stripped some damaged, 35-year-old hardwood flooring out of our dining room, and there inside a dark, old hole that I had wondered about was a 100 grain 9mm JHP, likely from a 380. It was stuck in the subfloor. We've been here 17 years and it's not ours; I'm curious about 'the story.'

 

[Ugly Hombre]

Just one out of the safe, usually a N frame, a 1911, a Vaquero, or a SAA.

Or a R92.

Just one at a time mostly.

 

[Greyman50]

Since single and no grandkids under 14, all are loaded. Which famous gun writer said something about unloaded guns?
