Rob Pincus Has Rattled Cages With Good Advise

[Strider]

I have grandkids that visit and have a quick access safe in their room(as well as others around the house). my grandkids know about guns and have no desire to fiddle with them without grandpa. Rob sounds like he thought it thru and I agree. I do not OPENLY carry my gun around the house when the young'uns are around. Having one where I am going sounds like a good idea.

To rephrase my earlier post ,
Pincus obviously did not think this through .
What happens if the bad guys meet you between where you are, and where your gun is .
Simple answer is you will probably be killed and then the rest of your family will be victimized and killed .

That being said, I will toss out the possibility that Pincus realized such an action is tactically unsound, but the very idea would drive anti's insane for all the wrong reasons and would therefore be fun to watch.

Pincus thought it through. 

Here is an excerpt of his statement:

In the middle of the night, if I’m in the bathroom or getting a glass of water or in the bedroom or watching TV in the living room, if that alarm goes off and the glass breaks and the dog starts barking, what’s the instinct that most people are going to have, in regards to, “am I going to run across the house to get the gun, or am I going to run over here to help the screaming kid?” And if I’m going to go to the kid anyway, and I have an extra gun and an extra safe, why not put it in their closet?

So he is talking about a SPARE gun and safe...and going to it if it is closer or more expedient to go to your kids than your usual safe.
