@@Gunsncarsnstuff you do realize it would be a hazard anyways right? exploding ammunition is more dangerous if it is not in a chamber to halt the expansion as it is basically a fragmentation grenade at that point. Also people don't just spontaneously combust unless they are near magma and at that point it is self inflicted so that is just a stupid concern to bring up plus it has to be really hot to ignite the gunpowder in the bullet to fire so you can just throw the gun aside while you burn or try to take off the clothes that are on fire

I checked out when this guy told me NOT to store a revolver loaded. One of the prime advantages of a revolver is that you can keep it loaded without worrying about magazine complications. Keeping an automatic chamber empty for home defense is feasible because you need only cycle the action once and it's ready, but forcing yourself to fumble with a speed loader in a crisis is the height of foolishness.

Agree 100%... Borderline paranoid this fear of a fire which is at least as remote if not more-so, than having an intruder. If it's in a quality safe box the metal box should contain the round. One must consider the risk of being in the dark, under stress, no round in the chamber - will you REALLY be able to get the firearm loaded. Maybe yes maybe NO. Your life may depend on it... Round in the chamber! Always... AND in a quality steel lock-box. I think the fear of fire stuff is silly.

I usually agree with your videos, but I have to disagree on staging your gun without one in the chamber. Even if you use a biometric safe that is quick to open, you still will be at a disadvantage because it is already not on your person. So have to rack the slide will put you in a bigger disadvantage. Yes a fire might make it fire, but that is a risk I would be willing to take. I would just make sure your gun is pointing in your safe in a direction that is least likely to be a danger.

One aspect that isn’t covered a lot in these types of videos is fortifications to our house to slow the bad guys down to buy you time in minutes vs seconds. Security doors and windows. Alarm systems, motion detector lights, 6ft high fencing with locking gates; all these things slows the bad guy down and alert you so you have more time to get into a defensive position. By the time the bad guy is in the house you only have seconds at best, I’d rather have minutes. Then calculate or estimate how much time you think it takes for the bad guy to get through your lines of defense. Another thing if you have minutes your stress level will be much lower and you will be able to think more clearly to work your plan and put yourself in a offensive position rather then a defensive position and or most likely a combination of both. The best thing is keep the bad guy outside your house if all possible.

This is introducing far too many failure points during a high stress situation where any one failure can mean death of you or a family member. The real solution is while awake have your gun on you and when going to bed have it on your nightstand where you can just grab it because that's the only way you can be ready and reduce precious seconds to respond to a intruder. Just imagine crossing your house to go check on kids unarmed while there's one or more intruders in your home somewhere and then trying to open up a gun safe with adrenaline at max levels and worst of all now putting your children in the line of fire if the intruders shoot at you. While these videos are usually good advice, this one leaves way too many chances for the bad guys to gain upper hand and risk your family's lives.

Florida, notorious for home invasion's, requires a much different approach to firearm staging readiness for pistols and rifles. Waking up after someone has already gained surprised entrance while asleep, it may be too late to be chambering a round that may cause a malfunction during the manipulation. I can't imagine fumbling around trying to use a biometric safe that has as much of chance of failing as every electronic device I've ever owned has done or spinning that last dial number on my safe to retrieve an unloaded pistol or rifle. I somehow sleep much better at night with my AR mounted next to the bed on a Vertical Gun Rack with a round in the chamber and my pistol on the nightstand. I really want to have to do 2 things should it be necessary, identify a target and flip the safety just before firing. This video was interesting to see how others approach these issues.

Great content as expected….. but 2 things struck me as a gun owner for over 55 years and retired from a risk management position. When I stage/stash a firearm I always 1) have one in the chamber locked and cocked with safety on, 2) pointed in a safe direction and 3)always in the holster which covers the trigger. To me the actual chance of a house fire is rather slim vs. a home invasion in many parts of the country. So rather be prepared for that and take my chances which might be right for some but not others. The other point is it’s only my wife at home and no kids so I stage my firearms without a biometric or lock box and out of sight. Strategic location and access is key….. And again, to each their own. 👍👍 Stay safe.

Yeah, I'm sorry, but this all sounds like HORRIBLE ADVICE. In an emergency situation, where seconds count and adrenaline is pumping, you want to remove as many steps as possible in order to reach your firearm. Telling people to store their home defense weapon UNLOADED and LOCKED UP is just bad advice. At the very least, if you have it locked up, it should be with a round in the chamber. The "what if" concerning a fire and putting firefighters in harms way is not a good enough reason to add extra steps to the process of getting to your firearm. Unless you have children, I don't see any reason whatsoever for anybody to follow this advice. I sleep with my pistol on my nightstand, with a round in the chamber. I want to be able to pick up the pistol and be ready to fire right away if needed. I don't want to fumble around in the dark, trying to unlock my lockbox, then fumbling trying to insert a mag (or God forbid load a revolver), THEN rack a round into the chamber, when I can just easily do away with those steps and grab my gun and go to work on the idiot that thought it was a good idea to enter my home uninvited.

As a fire/medic I completely disagree with this. Feel free to keep your firearm loaded with one in the chamber. When we enter buildings fully engulfed we play a game of chance. The theory that you have one loaded pistol, that pistol has a round chambered, that barrel happens to be pointed in the direction of a first responders fighting the fire, the fire is burning hot enough in that area to detonate the round, and if all of this is true then that round could possibly hit the firefighter, is a wild gamble on a very LOW chance. Meanwhile, the idea that an intruder breaks in, you need to get to your gun quickly so you grab it and rack, unintentionally inducing a malfunction, is far more likely. Everyone has their opinions. Don't use pur safety as an excuse. What matters to us most is YOUR life. That's why we do what we do. Please don't limit your ability to protect yourself on our behalf.

We stage revolvers as we are wheel addicts. Actually hadn't thought of the house fire aspect, but it does make sense. Seems that leaving the cyl. empty under the hammer or leaving the wheel open (if the storage box or area has enough room) would take care of that danger. We're blessed in that our kids and grandkids are all grown. When folks come over to the house--whether they bring children or not--we simply lock the bedroom/office doors where the firearms are stored. Some adults are like kids! Silly as it seems to some, I carry even at home. If they made PJ's with holsters, I'd probably sleep with it.

Kevin, I had hoped this presentation would go in a different direction. I live alone in Georgia. There are no safe storage laws in Georgia because it is a state that supports the Second Amendment. Yet, you ask that I stage a firearm in a lock box without a round in the chamber. This is a recipe for giving the criminal an advantage. I am certain that the criminal will be carrying with a round in the chamber. Your recommendations would leave me unlocking the box, obtaining my firearm, and putting rounds in the firearm. I don't use semi-autos for defense. I use reliable revolvers. Your approach gives me at least a 5 second disadvantage. I believe in keeping defensive weapons in various locations, readily accessible, fully loaded. If someone gets to my firearms, they have already broken the law by entering my house unless they are my two or three close friends who are already carrying. My firearms are stored safely, legally, and with ready access when I need them. I am appalled that USCCA would give advice that delays a response to an attack. If you had conditioned your comments to include only people with others who are not qualified to handle the weapon living in the home, I would not have this issue. But, you provide this as a blanket approach for everyone. I think it is detrimental to personal safety. You may understand that I am not a supporter of this kind of information. Please revise your recommendations to reflect those of us who live alone.

Either you made this story up or you're a "weak link" who shouldn't have access to a gun. I wonder ... A gun safety talk is useless if it's just talk. Until you put a high-powered firearm in his hands and stand behind him to keep him from falling when he pulls the trigger, your child will not understand the danger. But after you catch him when he thought he was going to fall over backward, he'll know and remember forever. After that is a good time to teach him how to keep his cool and make a casual exit if one of his friends ever pulls out a gun to show it off. You can do this FOR your child or you can let him/her learn from video games and television. It's all a part of extending the life of your child. Storing a gun in your child's bedroom is foolish unless that's where you sleep.

Sorry bud but alot of this info is not a really good idea if you need to use your firearm in an emergency half asleep stumbling in the dark trying to quickly defend yourself or your family from a deadly threat in your home more than likely within 20ft of your exact position. Personally I lock my firearms in a safe except the one on my person if someones kids are in the house, and at night it will be within my reach if it is not directly on me . My experience that it is best if you own a firearm and have young children to take them to the range with you and teach them how to properly use a firearm and maintain it . Young children knowing first hand the saftey rules and also the first hand experience of the damage a firearm can inflict on inanimate objects such as wood, drywall, sheet metal, steel, and if possible even meat can result in them having more respectful for the firearm(s) . Hiding firearms from children just causes curiosity which can lead to an incident which is more the likely life threatening and could have been prevented by just teaching everyone in your household proper firearm etiquette.
@ekraszewski7 ай бұрын
One thing that has not been discussed is the 21 foot rule. It takes an attacker usually 2.5 seconds or less to cover 21 feet. Several tests have shown that even trained gun owners couldn’t unholster a weapon before the attacker(s) reach them. So retrieving a gun from from a lock box and then loading it and chambering a round takes an eternity, not to mention the loss of manual dexterity one would experience in such a high pressure situation.

I don't have a BOX. But I live alone! Owning only ONE firearm at the moment, it's with me almost 24/7! If I'm awake throughout the day, it's on my HIP. If I go to bathroom, it comes off my hip (weighs pants down like I got a ton of bricks in my pocket), for temporary staging, on the counter pointing away from me. It's only there long enough to handle my bsns, secure my pants, wash my hands, than I return the firearm to my hip and go about my day! If I take a shower, same thing, but barrel is pointing towards door sitting on counter near sink,, so if I have to grab it in a hurry, it's already pointing where I'm likely going to expect the trouble. For when I sleep. I don't put it under the pillow like many do. I used to put it on side of bed against the wall so my body was blocking it, but a few times, it's been pushed over the edge, and fallen into the space between bed and wall, and it's too risky to accidently grab or push the trigger, trying to recover it from behind the mattress! I don't want it accidentally going off, recovering it, whether I'm grabbing it in middle of night during emergency, or freshly waking up in the morning and returning it to my belt. Now it goes on a nightstand near my bed, arms length. But becuase I've discovered dust bunnies and crawlers in the barrel once or twice, I've sense been putting it on that nightstand with clip removed, and slide locked open! Every morning, i check it before inserting clip, and releasing slide action. Usually after I check it and make sure it appears clean, I release the action first, then insert clip, and it remains clear, no HOT round. IF i wake up to a disturbing noise, which one time a roommate showed up, who's hardly ever here, but I woke to sound of heavy steps coming up my stairs, I grabbed my firearm, inserted clip and released the action all in one motion, which chambers the round as the action closes, and it has a very loud SNAP sound (very distinguishing), and as I yelled "Who goes there" before I can finish my question, it was my roommate announcing himself, who knows I have the firearm... so he knew what the sound was. Only time I had go that length, and I'd say it was a swift reaction by myself! He hardly stops by... but that's another story! Mostly I live alone, and I keep my bedroom door closed/locked, when I go to sleep (He has another room he stays in, in my home, when he does come by), whether or not he stops by, or a stranger, they'd have to get into my bedroom to find my firearm on the nightstand. But it is left there without clip, and left open, so I'm not worried! Good information though! Thanks!

If the perp has one of my arms or has already disabled my arm in some way, but I can get in my safe, how do you expect me to chanber a round to defend myself? You should always have a round chambered.
