How long does it take you to get to a loaded gun?

[ultradoc]

About 5 sec. And that's anywhere in the house.

 

[1911 guy]

Took me longer to type this than to get a loaded pistol and rifle. Shotgun longer, because it's on the other side of the bed. Less than five seconds for both, maybe another 3 for the shotgun.

 

[Sav .250]

Zero..........It`s already loaded.

 

[Dejavu]

Thirty minutes, give or take.

I would have to go to the staff physician locker room, change out of scrubs, leave the OR, get out of the hospital (since in MN they can ban guns on premises), drive home and get to the bedroom.

But I doubt I will be shot at today in the operating room. Hopefully.

Which one-lol. 380 holstered, 45 on the computer desk, Makarov beside my recliner, 45 in another room, tactical shotty near the back door, or the 500 midway of our home.

As I'm at work, and we can't have weapons on company prooperty, I have to get in the car, drive home, either go to the cabinet and grab the 12 gauge, or go to the bedroom and grab the 9mm. Either way, It's gonna take me about 45 minutes.

If I'm at home, it's the same options, so anywhere between 5-15 seconds. Depends on if I'm asleep or awake, and what room I'm in.

I've been pushing it around the desk with my mouse for about an hr. Close enough? lol

How long does it take you to get to a loaded gun?

2-3 seconds.

There's a PA-63 mounted under the computer table I'm sitting at.

There's a Ruger SR9C hanging on a hook four feet away.

There's a 12 ga Ithaca pump shotgun leaning against the wall under the Ruger.

There's a Taurus 22 HMR Model 172 rifle beside the shotgun.


Then it would take ten seconds to get to the loaded "nightstand" guns, all equipped with Streamlight TLR-2 laserlights.
A Bushmaster AR .223.
A CZ 40P.
A Beretta PX4 9mm.
A Ruger 22/45 pistol.


It would take me about fifteen seconds to get to the other loaded laser/light equipped guns in the house.

 

[FROGO207]

A lot faster than it took to type this.

 

[loneviking]

Break into my house and you'll find out!

 

[bbuddtec]

3 sec to chambered hot AR, offhand.

Have a nice day!

However long it takes me to sling open my desk drawer and grab the Officer's-length Kimer .45 contained therein. Couple seconds longer to grab the 1901 vintage 1894 .30WCF in the closet behind me, a few seconds longer for the AR-15 in the next room, or the Remington 870 in another. I'm not paranoid, I just like not to have to frantically find one loaded when I need it. Like when I spotted a coyote in the pasture yesterday. The challenge is keeping them loaded.

 

[gym]

By the time I read How long.

 

[Murphy4570]

1-2 minutes.

Go upstairs, grab shotgun. Fumble around with shotgun shell box, spill shells all over my bed. Fumble 6 shells into the magazine, rack the slide.

Ready!

Alligator one, alligator two....oh, got it!

 

[droptoptrk]

As I live in the Peoples Republik of Kaifornia (read no issue) and work on a military base (read no firearms in vehicles), it will take me about forty minutes to get home and get it out of the safe. So if anyone is going to attack myself or my family, could you make an appointment? I need to get ready. God I hate this state.

 

[Single Action Six]

It Depends Upon The Situation..!

Most of the time I have ready/somewhat instant access to my SD firearm(s) in one way, shape or form.. but if I'm sleeping, it'll take me a couple/few more seconds to kinda wake up before I get them. Your mileage may very.

Single Action Six

 

[straybullet]

Just timed from laying down: 6 seconds, from kitchen or living room (If not on my side): 8-10 seconds.

 

[doc540]

personally about 3-3.5 seconds to draw, aim, and fire

at home: upstairs or downstairs about 4-5 sec

car: about 2-3sec

 

[MtnSpur]

Starting right now, how long does it take for you to have a loaded gun in your hands, GO!

It took me 2.5 seconds. If someone were kicking down your door how long would it take?

Less than 1 second. Computer printer to the right and slightly forward of my laptop. Carry weapon resting on printer.

 

[JoeMal]

In the office, as I am now, about 2 seconds. Right behind the closet door to my 6

 

[Kleanbore]

If one does not have a firearm on his or her person, the time to acquire one will depend upon three things:

1. where one happens to be;
2. where the firearm is kept; and
3. whether there is a threat between those locations.

 

[SonofGilnockie89]

I imagine it would be about a forty second sprint to my car (which by state law cannot be parked on campus if I have a firearm in it) to retrieve my Glock 23 and the three spare mags I keep.

It stays in my Blackhawk Serpa CQC virtually everywhere else, including home. As soon as I walk through the door, I retrieve my Remington 870 from the safe and prop it up agianst the wall in whatever room I'm in.

SO: At school: 45 seconds to a minute.
Anywhere else: however long it takes to draw it from my holster.

That's why mine stays loaded and unchambered =)
