I guess it would depend on where you are in the home and how many one has stashed in different places. For me, if I'm in the bedroom, five seconds or less.
A friend at work convinced me a couple years ago that it's a good idea to have at least one firearm on each level of your residence. I think he based this on the fire extinguisher / smoke detector recommendations. At that time I only had one 'live' firearm at home and it was secured in a hidden location in my bedroom.

Voted 10 sec. or less,but that's because of where I was sitting when I read/answered (at work), same time at home.Anywhere else

I agree, and have done that, but I end up being more afraid of my house being broken in to during the day and having more than one stolen.

Depends where I am. Most of the time I'm screwed because Maryland will not issue a permit for emergencies. At home, after being awoken, I can have it in my hand in less than 10 seconds.
I voted I'm screwed.

within a couple seconds, in PA with a LTCF it's kind of unfair

Like everyone else it depends.......
Voted 30 seconds or less based on average time from anywhere on first floor.
If I'm in bed less than 10.
Maybe need to think about basement?!?!?!
Yep, outside the home and at work, I'm Screwed.

When All Else Fails.
Right now I have to reach 14 inches.
Under 2 seconds wasn't one of the options.
No kids in my home.
And most of us are screwed outside/at work.

something within 30 seconds in any room in my home.
I agree with this. I got a bunch of magnets out of old SCSI drives, and use them to hide guns in interesting places.

In bed or downstairs, <10secs to a handgun.
Downstairs, 18 sec to open the safe, grab a weapon, charge it. With the lights on.
I practice regularly.

If you really feel the need to have a firearm within arm's reach all the time at home then why not just wear it?
That's my answer to sketchy situations in the neighborhood like a circling police helicopter looking for robbery suspect etc...
It keeps the unlocked firearm in my control away from the kid but accessible. When I'm done it gets locked up and it's one less to be easily stolen.
