There's nothing stopping you from keeping your shotgun under your bed with your ammo in your nightstand right beside you. Just keep the key in the bedroom with you where a kid can't get at it.
If you don't have time to grab a key in your bedroom chances are your going to get killed before you even know what's going on anyway.
I keep a pistol grip Mossberg beside my bed (with trigger lock on) and I have a nice bayonet on the end of it in case I need to get pokey.

dude, have you ever had to pull a gun in an emergency situation or even just plain hunting for that matter?
if someone wanted too, they could kick in my door (setting the alarm off i might add) and have a gun to my head within 5 seconds, 10 seconds if they walked.
if you can wake up from a dead sleep, realize what just happened, look for your key, find it, reach under your bed, find your shotgun, load shells in it, pump a round in it, never mind, you were DEAD about the time you put your key in the lock!!
get my point?
Time
besides, what if you don't have any kids? why is that law fair to a single women that might have a stalker? or live in a bad part of town?
she should keep her gun locked up? nah, that's not smart.
Keep your shit loaded man!
I'd rather take a fine than lose my life.
You never know when you really might need it in a jiffy. Sort of like car accidents. Shit can happen out of nowhere.
