Guess I need to play more video games.
My experience with a Mac makes me believe it's an attempt to make sure at least one of the guns go off. |

A quick-access small gun safe might be in order. Here's a few ideas, though I'm not recommending any of these specifically: https://www.pewpewtactical.com/best-...-quick-access/ |

If you have kids, I understand the need in these times to have a quick access container. I'd get one with a thumb print lock. Again, fumbling around with a key, or trying to remember a combination in a life and death situation is bad. I've been in this situation. I know my refrigerator incident has become something of a dumbass legend here, but what most people don't remember (or deliberately omit) is that I fired that errant shot AFTER I realized it was a false alarm, and tried to uncock the hammer of a revolver, which I had done without incident many times for decades previously. Thumb slipped off the hammer while the trigger was depressed - BOOM. That's the kind of shit you do when you're half asleep and freaked out. Had I grabbed the pistol instead of the revolver, it never would have happened. But when I was awakened by the burglar alarm at 5:00 a.m., I reached in the nightstand and grabbed the first gun my hand fell on - a revolver that shouldn't have been there in the first place. The rest, as they say, is history. Now I have one gun in my nightstand, a Glock with no hammer or external safety, outfitted with a light. It has one job. I don't even own a revolver now. And my 1911s with their hammers and external safeties stay in the safe. |

If the gun must be secured from the curious, get a bedside/nightstand small gun safe like the ones in the link I gave above and store it in there along with a spare mag and some kind of light. |

Yeah every time I buy a gun it comes with one. I try to give it away, but if I can't find anyone who wants it, it gets tossed. All my stuff has a round in the chamber and is ready to roll. Just like a digital camera, just point and shoot. |

And I also keep everything loaded/chambered - even the guns in the safe. Nothing quite so useless as an unloaded weapon. |
