    Add this to your list.

    -you're asleep out in the woods in a hammock after chopping wood all day
    -you're wearing only silky running shorts and flip flops
    -there's poison ivy everywhere and you run into your house
    -stop and get a drink of cool water before running upstairs
    -help your kid finish some common core math homework
    And then........
    Unlock your gun,load those magazines with 25HP? Ammo, go change the oil in your car
    -and then hear a crash.

    It depends. Did I stub my toe while running into the house?

    After finishing helping the kid with common core homework??? That crash will never happen! :)

    That stuff is pure evil. I can't even figure that math out with a degree in it. Who the hell adds like that????

    Everybody in my house has different *firearm acquisition times. The number of persons and their respective times is classified.

    Curious, drop by and try to get in, with a stopwatch in hand of course.

    *Belt-fed devices usually add a few seconds to any shooter's time. ;)

    But they make up for it with volume... :D

    5 seconds or less. Just timed it from the farthest point to farthest point in the house. I didn't use common core when going up the steps though, does that count? :innocent0

    It's concerning that there are 19 people that answered the poll that are within 5 minutes of obtaining a SD firearm or are "screwed".
