My setup is the zenith z5RS sbr in the living room corner . I run the sbr arsenal ak krink in the kitchen and my colt m4 sbr with Aimpoint in the bedoolm. A throwdown Glock 22 is in a bathroom sink drawer and my atei kissed Glock 19 on the nightstand . Hoping I’ve covering my basses. Home invasions are more prevalent and you must prepare . No kids in the house… just my wife who is another gun fag.
Yes, there is a gun in every room with me in my house - it’s called my G19 CCW, always on my hip.
Makes it about 1000 times easier that stashing stuff all over.
YMMV.
I’m unfamiliar with the term Gun fag.
But do you run the guns in each room? Or discard them and transition to the new gun upon entry?
I keep my guns in a safe and just keep one readily accessible near by, it seems easier.

Would love to see your collection though, sounds nice.
If the bad guy comes in through the kitchen and you’re in the bedroom we’ll finally be able to settle the AK vs AR debate.
Sounds like you are ready for anything!
I never discredit anyone who prepares themselves and their families for any type of event. Some people are just more prepared than others and I’m not sure myself what is considered sufficiently protected these days. Hahah. I’m certainly not where I’d like to be. In reality, I think just having a plan is essential. Home burglaries seem to be more targeted robberies than random events and knowing your home and where to go is important imo.
I’d be always wary of who comes into your house… any interior maintanace -dont leave anything of real value out. Word of mouth of what you have travels fast, but also your security system. They study it and see if its worth the grab. I have watched them countless times looking around at my cameras. So dummy cameras can even be effective.
Regardless, it’s always best to be prepared. Why not? When you have kids in multiple rooms, it’s a very different situation. No firearms throughout the house with the little guys.
I live in a decent area with very low crime, gated community, secure door access, hurricane proof windows, 12 cameras, monitors in 2 different rooms, and ADT pulse (max security) and I still keep a 7" super shorty 12g in a hidden compartment next to the bed with electronic earpro in the drawer. A Glock 17 in another area hidden. We have a plan in place if things bump in the night.
I carry my g43 and, if off, is in the kitchen hidden - but quick access.
I figured that is enough and if someone sneaks into the community, blatantly disregards the security system signs, alarm, cameras etc you are doing some things in your life you shouldn’t be and they are coming to kill your ass! Lol
But seriously, certain dogs can be even more effective and better security than any device.
I say whatever makes you and your family sleep better at night and also feel comfortable and protected in your castle- Do it!
Sounds like a 5 room house… my house is a bit larger, and that isn’t meant as a brag, but it does explain why I believe in defense in depth. You can have guns in each room, and if you don’t have dogs I’ll point out you aren’t prepared. If you don’t have areas cleared around your house, you aren’t prepared. The list goes on and on, but the concept of a weapon in each room is such a small piece of the pie that it takes actually being prepared out of context.
I don’t think you will find many people on this board will to tell you the layout of their weapon in their house. Most of us would think it to be low grade trolling to even ask.
Best of luck to you, and I pray you never have to use any of your firearms to defend yourself or house.
Keep in mind the more guns you have laying around the more opportunity for an unauthorized individual getting a hold of them.
I live in a 1 bedroom with my wife, so I guess I do have guns all throughout the house!
Jokes aside, I used to do that, but stopped. The reality is, I’m more likely to have my gear stolen by all the management and maintenance folks coming into my apartment when I’m at work then face a home intrusion. I have one on or near me when at home, but the rest goes in a bolted safe.
I keep my G19 on me and then it goes on my nightstand at bed time. Other stuff stays locked up because I don’t want some dumb kids to swipe a gun during a snatch and grab while the house is unoccupied.
I have a rule that there NO weapons out of the safe ever unless it’s the pistol in my holster or the AR that comes out every night when the pistol goes in the safe. Edited.
This.
I hang out with some seedy people. I piss people off a lot. I date many many girls who would not pass the M4C racial purity test. And I’m still infinitely more worried with theft than I am about needing to repel boarders in such a quick manner that I won’t have time to get to a firearm someplace.
Now we just need to know where OP lives (easy) and observe his work/travel/life schedule and break in when he’s not home. Plenty of guns lying around.
As far as dogs - meh. Dogs bark at everything and they’re easy to take out. Most people don’t spend any time doing ring work with them or the time needed to get them to really attack people. They’re almost like car alarms. False senses of security.
A good safe, cameras surrounding the house with motion alerts to my phone, and a good insurance policy are way more effective than any “let’s arm the neighborhood if they get in” method of protection.
Working in law enforcement for 25 yrs, I’ve seen way too many guns go bye bye in burglaries where they were stashed here and there.Crooks will find them and most homes are super easy to break into. All my long guns go into a safe bolted in concrete if I’m not home. Handgun with light on the nightstand at night, goes into a holster in the morning.
Agree. The person that’s going to most likely rob you is someone you know and they know your routine. There was a professional robbery in our neighborhood 2 years ago and they stole something specific, not random as there was plenty of other valuables to grab in plain site. What was stolen was hidden and only a certain amount of people knew of it. Again, targeted. This can also happen when a service specialist comes into your home and scouts it out…everything… if your home security systym is visible and adequate, that is usually enough of a deterrent for common criminals.
I like bigger commercial style bullet cameras outside for easy viewing. I want them to see it and its red diodes. Hide the smaller dome cameras in other access areas. Anything beyond that and a accessible firearm is a added bonus.

It sounds like you have been watching the movie “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” a little too much.
I’d have to be in an occupation and or location where I felt the risks of someone attacking my home justified it, and getting passed the layers of security (and effective security is always layered) to do that is unlikely. If someone can get into my home without making a hell of a racket and taking a lot of time, then they’re pros and I’m a dead man. As there’s no reason a legit pro would come looking for me knowing I was home, I’m just not that concerned. House where I spend weekends is in a high crime area and I don’t leave doors and such unlocked and can reach a firearm in maybe 3-5 seconds dependent on where i am in the house. Weekdays, low crime area, house build like a damn bomb shelter, getting to a firearm in a timely manner not an issue, unless it’s some people with a lot more experience and training than I have, and it’s game over regardless.
Good doors and properly installed locks, impact glass, cams, dog (mine is worthless for security however) etc, is layered security. If i was say LE and such, where they’re may in fact be people actively trying to locate me, then I’d probably take a shower with a firearm. My pal from a big city PD is like that, and frankly I don’t blame him.
Quote of the Month!
Maybe it’s just the area of the country I live in but I have several career cop friends who say armed home invasions when you are home pretty much only happen if you’re a drug/prostitution/whatever house.
I’m not a cop or a pimp so I don’t have anyone out to get me that I know of.
Repelling boarders is a good way to put it. I don’t see that happening for me.
I do know of a number of idiot teenagers that I could see breaking into a house for fun during a summer day and of course would steal the loose guns to play with along with the beer.
Agree that guns lying around is a bad idea.
They all stay in the rsc/safe. I have one silenced rifle that comes out when I get home and goes back in when we both leave. A pistol follows me around the house.
I had a pistol stolen from a vehicle when I accidentally left it there (really bad combination of coincidences), and it opened my eyes to how easy it is.
Really someone can break in your window, steal a lot if stuff and get out well before cops get there. IMO, secure your valuables. The worst part is knowing some POS has your gun.
As far as dogs are concerned, I think they are great layer of protection. Sure, most people do not have them trained to attack effectively, but that isn’t necessarily what you need them to do although a trained dog is a bonus. They are there for early warning. Sure they bark at many things, but if you know your dog like a typical dog lover would, there is a distinct difference in their growl and/or bark between something like another dog or something else trivial in nature and a stranger approaching the front door or in the backyard. The urgency and intensity is unmistakable. That alone should buy you the time to go get your weapon of choice that should already be easily accessible when you are home.
Like Will mentioned, if Pro’s are coming for you, you don’t have much of a chance in this situation. You also probably messed up something bad.
