The gun appears to be a Glock 19, generation 4, stock (nothing added or changed), loaded (looking at the extractor, appears to be loaded).
Better?
In an emergency, how quickly can you have a loaded firearm in your hands?

I was asking why no holster. I guess it's just me, I wouldn't put a "bare" gun on a hard table. I didn't understand how your indentifying the firearm related to that.
I see.
My guns are just tools, I don't worry about them getting a little banged up; wouldn't throw a gun in a pile of rocks, but on a bench/table, gun bag, no problem.

Ummm, let's see. Never much farther away.

Yep, Alien Gear. I take it out when I'm sitting in my recliner. When I get up, it goes with me. It's one of the Glocks I won last year in the Glock A Day raffle. After all the Glock praise on this forum, I decided to at least give this gun a fair chance to win me over. Nope, Nada, no way. This thing is still an ugly POS. The only positive thing I can say is it is light and easy to carry and conceal. I'm trying hard but still don't feel the love.
Close. G 26, Gen 4, stock. No sense putting lipstick on a pig.

I have two Glocks. My "love" for them is that they are reliable and you can't kill them. I agree, yes they are ugly. I know guns are tools, but I'm totally anal about anything mechanical I own. I get on my own nerves sometimes being that way.

Well, when you just put it down, after taking care of things...

Don't trust any species where the male and female of the species looks alike; especially if they carry tiny light-sabers and try to sneak into your house!

If I'm in my house, almost always less than 10 seconds for a good set of choices. Outside the home? I'll be relying on my keyring or backpack knives. So still less than 10 seconds, but far less effective.

Outside the house (other than the usual pocket litter), the only thing you can legally carry across the whole state is pepper/mace.
Stun/taser devices are legal across most jurisdictions, but if you're living in (or crossing into) Baltimore City & county, Howard, Annapolis or Ocean City (there may be one other I'm blanking on), you're running a risk.
True. I wonder if Harford county ever got their law fixed, like we did here in AA county?
I think with very little training, a cane (which is totally legal everywhere, including on an airplane) is probably your next best option.
For anyone just reading this thread for the first time, this is not a 'about how long would you guess' it would take to have a gun in your hands and ready to use, this is an actual test. Don't talk about it, unless you actually make like Nike and 'Do it'.
Safety first!

Just timed myself from downstairs bathroom. 14.7 seconds. Is that good? I don't know. A lot can happen in 14 seconds.

I don't believe this is true. As far as I know, open carry of manual-open or fixed blade knives below a certain length are legal in MD.

What part is not true?
You (correctly) added a category which I don't normally factor in, as I'm not a sheath-knife guy. But my 'pocket litter' includes at least one folding knife.

Uh, I don't think Md. has a light saber season on fox squirrels. You might want to delete this post.

Plenty of those to tempt me if it weren't for a home directly behind the feeders. Last night there was a deer raiding the feeder to the right, less than 3 feet from the muzzle.

How long? Between the time it takes to draw and 5sec. I do carry in my home, and if it's not actually holstered on me it's never much more than a reach away...a note: I do sometimes use a retention holster (thumb drive) and if I simply take the holster off and set it on the table or counter I disengage the retention mechanism so that if I have to grab it then its only a 1 handed affair...
For those who may have children and are concerned about them accessing: when my kids were younger and unpredictable, the only weapon in the house that was loaded and chambered was the one on my hip...and if its on my hip then they can't access it so that was a perfectly fine compromise for me

How fast can I put my hand to my side? Pretty fast.

You stated that I couldn't carry a knife in public. That isn't true. Assisted opening blades are illegal but most others are not.
