What I do

What do you do when...

You plan a big day at the range first thing tomorrow morning and you want to take your CCW piece and your house gun with you to practice, and you set up the range bag and gun cases the night before? You've packed your home defense guns!

Well, what I do is put one of the other guns in the house gun's place. If I am taking the 686 I put the Sig P229 in the easy access gun safe. It's Double Action just like a revolver, so the manual of arms is fine for a 3 AM Prowler emergency. Easy peasy.

This is all academic for you folks that can legally carry in your home state. You don't HAVE to case your shooter away. I do. Legally.

But then the range day is over and there is no rush after, for me, to clean the normal guns to have them ready. I have that backup gun in the usual defensive spot.

So what are the chances I'll need that backup gun there? Shorter than Slim-to-None. Exceedingly remote. Still. Well, you know.

Good plan, and you're right, it's nice to not have to case up... :-)

My "trainer" guns just live in the range bag. It makes things simpler.

That's the whole rationale behind the "Two is one" mantra, T-bolt.

The obvious solution is to buy a second house gun identical to the first...

You're welcome...

Well, one day I may have dupes that live in the range bag when I make Tam money. And certainly when I am as rich as JayG I'll get that duplicate house...
