I live in MA so even though there are no longer any kids in my house, to stay legal I currently keep all my guns unloaded in a locked gun safe in the basement except for one revolver that I keep loaded in a small drawer-mounted quick access safe next to the bed for night defense. Even that I put away in the big gun safe unloaded when the grandchildren are around. So I guess I am as legal as you can get even if sort of defenseless when the kids are around (maybe when I should have a defense the most?). But as I get older and less nimble I would really rather have a loaded pump shotgun next to the bed for night defense. Anyone know of a way to secure such a gun for fast access without putting a quick access safe big enough for a single shotgun (does this even exist) in the bedroom? Seems to me it is almost impossible in this state to protect yourself- things have to be so damned locked up you can't get at them, particularly if you are at an age when moving around fast and dealing with lock codes quickly is more of a challenge in high stress situations...
