"Oh shit, I'm being attacked. But I'm a responsible gun-owner, so it's in my safe. Let me just ask this nice fella if I can walk over to my safe and fetch it before he kills me."

Well, It seems as though you've put yourself In a position of helplessness.

I'll help you out here and state the obvious. Please take this under advisement. Don't lock your gun away- It somewhat defeats the purpose of owing It for reasons of "self-defense".

As always, I'm glad to be of assistance to you.
