Is there a down side to keeping your gun locked in a safe?

This is one of the main reasons I don't own a gun. I have small children in my house. On one hand I have a strong desire to protect them from random nuts. On the other hand I could never in good conscience leave a pistol out accessible to them. The only option would then be a gun safe, and I really don't like my chances of being able to effectively use that weapon to protect my family if it is locked up in a safe and I need to get at it in a pinch. So, a hockey stick under the bed it is! :-)

A dog is the best theft deterrent there is. A friend who spent 17 years on burglary detail told me that, in all that time, only once did he investigate a home that had a dog present.

I have a few gun safes as well, one pistol safe which is bolted to a dresser accessible by one hinged door stays unlocked at all times when I'm home, when I leave the house I spin the lock... simples. I keep my keys in there as well so if I forget to lock it, I only make it to a vehicle.

Standing in front of the house, waiting for the landlord or someone to come and let you back in, is embarrassing, tho.
