It sits loaded (but not chambered) in a safe that I could have open in 3 seconds.

Did you know that the US is the only country in the world that has more guns than people (112 guns for every 100 people). The next closest are Serbia and Yemen who are in the 50s. After that there's not another country that's over 40.
