If someone breaks into my house while I am not home and I come home and catch them in the act, odds are they will either have the gun already or be all over me before I could get to it.

If I am asleep and someone breaks in there is a decent chance I won't be able to get to it in time for it to be useful. I sleep pretty damn heavy so by the time I wake up, realize what is happening and get the gun the person (if they wanted to do me harm) would be all over me.

It is in my closet in an easy to get to spot, but still being able to get to the gun and use it in a situation where I am in immediate danger may not be as easy as a lot of people think.

Still, there are plenty of situations where it could be useful. As I sit and type this I am in the bedroom I use as an office. If someone tried to smash my door in, I'm pretty sure I could get to it before they got through the door and onto me.
