I like point and click interfaces
What condition are your guns stored in? With the exception of some old guns that are keepsakes, all of mine are loaded and ready to go. In case of zombies.

Anything handy that might be needed for immediate use, loaded. Stuff locked up, unloaded.

yeah, i leave the safe queens unloaded and the Glock in “condition Glock” and the revolver by the night stand loaded.

Agreed – if your SHTF/SD plan includes it, have it ready to go at all times.

I believe that a gentleman named Elmer Keith had the same philosophy about the arms in his home.
All of them were loaded.
I cannot argue as to the merit of any position other than that.
An unloaded firearm has the same value as a limp d—.
In my home, any firearm that is not in the safe is loaded and spare mags are next to them.
In the safe, there are loaded magazines on the shelf above the rifles. Lord help me, I hope I never need to use ’em.

The only 2 that aren’t loaded are the 2 I use for demo pistols in classes I treach and they are stored seperately to the loaded ones.

I’ll add: scattergun by the bed, magazine loaded, chamber empty, unlocked. I’d rather have to rack the slide when grabbing it than reach for a safety, plus I don’t like leaving it cocked for long periods of time.

My dad griped that my brother had left his BB gun loaded (which is why I got it) and that kind of sunk in until I thought about it. Now I have various loaded, in fact +1. We were at a womens’ training session last weekend, and at one point I had occasion to go see my girl; on the way to her I pulled my EDC and put two in the chest and one in the head on one of the targets. “Winning of hearts and minds, baby, two to the heart, one to the mind”. She said a bad word to me. She’s still developing her skills. She’s gonna kick ass.

“An unloaded firearm has the same value as a limp d—.”
Four hours, bra. Four hours, and call your doctor.
Define “store.” I don’t want to see either your magazine springs or your corporae cavernosae.
I want some credit here. I didn’t mention “clips.”

I normally don’t keep one in the pipe, even for the readily available guns. Where I live, I’m much more likely to need a shotgun or .22 for a skunk or coon than to have to fight off a home invader and I’m much more likely to have a house fire than to need a gun that quickly for self defense. I’d rather count on having the rack the slide (or pump the shotgun) than risk one cooking off in a house fire.
When I lived in town, it was a different situation.

I often have nightmares where The Horde is breaking in my door, and all my mags and guns are unloaded.
Even the guns in the safe have loaded mags in them. A box of all sorts of loaded mags are by the safe. The bedside USP 45 is cocked and locked, I typically leave the bedside automatic rifles loaded but unchambered (safety first!)
I figure if they kick down the door, the lead goblin will trip over the attack cat, leaving me a moment to drop the bolt.

I was taught growing up that accidental discharges are most often caused by unloaded guns (“it’s the unloaded gun that kills”). So all of my weapons are always loaded–I’m not taking any chances.
