"Always treat a gun as if it is loaded, And What! good is a gun if it aint loaded" -Paul Zimmerman (My grand father)

All my guns are loaded. Some might say its stupid. But in the area i live in its best to have multipul guns to get to if needed.
I have my grand fathers 1911 fomr 1914 that he carried in WWII, not a prety thing, but its a tack driver for a GI 45. I oil it every week, and all my others get oiled about once every 3 weeks. I have a 44mag that is loaded, my first pistol a Springfield 1911A1 loaded with a 8rd mag, i have 2 beretta 9mm's that are always loaded, one in my head board. My M4 is loaded, my ak is loaded my walther 22 is loaded. But NONE have a round in the chamber. For one its hard on the mags not having it fully loaded, and two its just good practice to not have a round in there. I have all kinds of mags loaded for all of them as well.
No im not a nut, just lazy when it comes to havting to load mags, so i have a crap load of them and just keep them loaded.

Is having 1000's of rounds on hand bad....i see it as smart in these times, when ammo can cost $7 one day and be up to $9 the next.
Im not decided if i will keep my new luger loaded or not. If i do it will be the mecgar mag, and no round in the chamber. I would like to find a safe load, and hollow point rounds that work in it. All will tell when i actualy get her here.
