As a concession to practicality, we only leave stainless guns in the bathroom.
If it's not legal to store loaded guns there, how can they be used for defense? An unloaded gun is at best a brick or a club.

They're required to be locked at all times if loaded in the house. I find that half a turn of the lock screw using a key JB-Welded into the lock does the trick. At the moment, I have shells clipped to the wall of my closet 6 inches from the gun, so I don't even have to lock it. I know how to safely handle loaded firearms, I took great care to train my brother on firearm safety, beginnig with airguns and now with a real gun, and if my mom ever discovers that I do own a gun, she'll be fine since she was the captain of her college rifle team and has told a number of stories in which the fact that people followed safety guidelines prevented any injury or damage to anything other than the foam ceiling of the shooting range. She has, however, adopted a puzzling anti-gun stance that I believe comes more from unfamiliarity (hasn't handled a real gun since college) than anything else.
