On body 1911 carry = Condtion 1 always. Despite prior comments, holstered on body carry, a 1911 in Condition 0 (chambered, hammer back, thumb safety off) is safe with grip safety active. This isn't dumb and cited by LTC Cooper as a carry method.

Nightstand I only use striker fired pistols with chambered round. If a Glock with kydex snap off trigger guard cover. If other chambered in an IWB kydex holster.

Agree that when you need a pistol for SD you need it in the hand loaded and ready to fire, if needed.

Other than that, all pistols in locked Liberty lock boxes loaded. No kids.

Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty of give me death! P. Henry
