One. What's the use in an unloaded gun? There are no small children in my house and when they visit the gun is locked away. When my children were small I wouldn't have a gun of any kind, but since my teenage daughter and I are alone most of the time in a rural area..yes, I keep a loaded gun. And I will use it.

Yes, unfortunately I life in a country where you get murdered in your sleep, your dogs get either chocked to death (I can give you links to our local news paper as prove) or they get poisoned, old people get brutally murdered, kids get their throats slit on the way to school for a simple cell phone, so yes, I am keeping my baby loaded and close by to protect my wife and kid
by trampp on September 21st, 2008
nope never
by TopspeedFD on November 14th, 2007
Yes. My 9mm pistol and my wifes .38 revolver. I feel bad about keeping the 9mm loaded, though. It weakens the spring in the magazine. When we have children in the house we put them away, of course, and we never keep the other ones loaded or even displayed. (AR-15, FAL, CETME, AK-47, Mosin Nagant.)
I have to say that my wife's revolver (Smith and Wesson) has a very nice integral hammer lock. Lock it and nothing can be done to discharge the pistol, short of throwing it in a fire. It's a part of the pistol, so it can never be misplaced...

no we have no guns..they are illegal here in Canada

Yup. One in my desk right now. One under the cushions of my couch. One in my nightstand drawer. I'm afraid of home invasions. And, besides, if anyone were to break into my place, I would really love to shoot 'em.

Yes

Only loaded with Nerf balls and water.
by polit-burro on September 21st, 2008
Gotta have at least one! As mentioned many times above by others, an unloaded weapon is of little use if the worst nightmare you could possibly have comes true. Imagine being interrupted in your lust for watching "The Hole" by an impolite home invader. I'll just help him out the door with the application of several hundred foot-pounds of directed energy.
If guns scare you, loaded or otherwise, then you really shouldn't have one. You've got to practice and be familiar with them if you expect to be able to use one effectively in a high stress situation. It's worse than facing down a charging bear; they're only hungry, while the home invader has nasty intents. Help him to re-boot his thinking!
by JanZizka on June 9th, 2008
I have quite a few, most are locking in the safe but I do keep one shotgun out and loaded for home protection. Not a safety issue unless my cat manages to grow opposable thumbs.

Loaded? Maybe
by That Guy Again on March 27th, 2008
All guns everywhere are always loaded, this is the first and most important thing to ever know about guns.
by J.R.C. on February 22nd, 2008
Yes, and my dad has enough in his guncase to start a small war.
by sassyfarms on January 3rd, 2008
Certainly, and carry too. licensed, know how to use them. and will. practice every week to be sure i make no misses or mistakes. will defend in public too
by Ted-E-Bear on December 13th, 2007
yes, my 357 magnum its locked in my gun safe
by Rich and Thin on December 7th, 2007
I am in the process of shopping for one. So not yet.
by Anonymous on December 7th, 2007
YES! LOADED AND UNLOCKED WITH 12 IN THE MAGAZINE AND ONE IN THE PIPE. THERES NO HAMMER TO PULL. JUST SQUEEZE GENTLY
by Feller on October 31st, 2007
Yes,I have had a good bit of tactical pistol and shotgun training .So I am comfortable with loaded weapons in the house .I am a safety Nut with my kids so I take those issuse seriously .I am very comfortable with my blades at close range indoors.And would rather use my blades with my children close by in a home invasion situation.So depending on the situation .I might not go for the gun first.but in either situation I would be bladed.
by thekingcobra63 on October 18th, 2007
yes.
by NotYourAvgPsycho on October 18th, 2007
Several. Pistols, rifles, shotguns, pretty much an assortment. Some loaded, some not.
by 2highspeed on September 4th, 2008
Yes, I have a loaded gun and a number with rounds close enough to load quickly.
Amazing, they never shot anyone yet, in spite of what the gun control people tell you. That should tell you something about RESPONSIBLE gun ownership.
GUN CONTROL IS HOLDING THE PISTOL WITH TWO HANDS.
by isaiah on August 8th, 2008
no but i have a full magazine right next to my gun
by jduncanrn on May 28th, 2008
yes, my husband works with law enforcement and is also a hunter.
by Kailea on May 25th, 2008
yea, just in case. But, locked up so the kids dont get em...
by Philip on March 28th, 2008
Yes, let that be a message to all the scumbags out there.
by gtravels loves her life penguin on February 26th, 2008
Just one. This is New York, after all.
by 89bravo on February 26th, 2008
yeah but its high enough for the adults to reach it, not the kids. Always on safety though, either way we just click it to hunting mode.
by Jagermann on February 26th, 2008
Yes. You should have a loaded gun in your house for self-protection and I do, but they should be safely secured if you have children.
by ak_spook on February 22nd, 2008
1 shot in mt shotgun and 1 blank and 2 bullets in my 9 so if some one breaks in i fire the blank to scare them off and they try to attack me i got some shots to defend myself. i am young but ive been raised around gun safty and military family.
by Moosemose on December 21st, 2007
Many in several places. Each with the first 2 rounds (cartridges) loaded with "Shot" as in a "Shotgun Shell". If an "Intruding Bad Guy" still comes toward U after 2 "Blasts" to the "Face", Just keep pulling the trigger as U just Learned his "Intentions"!!! John
by inkman on December 20th, 2007
Lets just say, that you better bring a bigger gun
by Lambchop Good Wool Ambassador on November 19th, 2007
Yes we do.
by R U Sirius on November 14th, 2007
I used to have a room-mate who was paranoid delusional. (found out after the fact) One night during a violent thunderstorm he freaked out from thunderclap and accidently blew a hole in the wall that led to my bedroom..........Fortunately I was at my GFs house at the time. The buckshot took out my tv and part of my bed.......
I still have reservations about guns..........but I would like one to protect my family.
by JTP on November 10th, 2007
Several, most are stored in a closet but one is about 15 inches from my head in a compartment in my headboard.
by Ghost Racer on October 31st, 2007
Yes. You never know when someone might break in.So I keep the gun I can shoot the best with loaded.
by 1858 Remington 1-21-13 on February 28th, 2009
I have 19 guns here in my place so yes, one of them is loaded and only I know which one. :-)
by Anonymous on February 3rd, 2009
I keep a loaded semi auto pistol 40 cal. in the house, for up close and personal encounters. The mag is full, none in the chamber. If you are pushing on the slide to load a shell, chances are you will need to use it.
There are no children in the household and even if there were, a small child could not pull or push the slide to load a shell.
I feel sorry for the citizens of any country that can not legally own a firearm.
When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns. Think about it.
by .44 mag man on February 2nd, 2009
yea i got a sewed off shotgun loaded with 000 an oo i got a .45 acp 230 grain hollow points an a .44 mag with 240 grain semi hollow points so im ready plus im a lite sleeper i hear a noise im up gun in hand
by ConservativelyLiberal on January 17th, 2009
Yes there are 6 loaded and concealed guns in my house at any given second.
by ThisAnonymous1 on January 14th, 2009
Yes.
by allikatzpop on January 14th, 2009
Yes, I have a loaded gun in the house.An empty gun in the house is just as useful as a car in the garage with an empty gas tank.
by mike on January 14th, 2009
yes in about every room in the house and about 6-7 loaded all the time from rifles, shotguns, to pistols
but basically they are for protection
by TxQHLover on January 11th, 2009
I live in Texas. There's a loaded gun in every room in the house.
by DreAnna on January 10th, 2009
Yes :)
by yotebuster on January 7th, 2009
Yes I keep at least one of my guns loaded at all times. I also have my bow with plenty of well tiped arrows and my knife collection thoughout the house. Having young kids in my home everything is kept put up in safe inaccessible areas. My children are both being taught about how these weapons are used and exactly how dangerous they are.
by david1911 on December 31st, 2008
