If you store your ammunition with your firearms then access to one storage location means they not only have the firearms, but the ammunition as well. In the case of someone with nefarious intent, they now have all they need to do damage. In the case of a child being curious, they now have the ability to inadvertently harm themselves or someone else.

The preferred system is to have the ammunition and firearms stored in separate rooms under separate locks. For instance, my firearms are in a safe tucked in a closet in my house that has its own key. My ammunition is in a dry box in another room with two padlocks on it. No one other than my wife and I knows where these two locations are in the house.

Makes sense, but so much firearms talk involves situations where seconds matter, so I never figured you'd put another lock in the way of being ready. 

I realize that's a lot of talk, but I also know multiple people who had to begrudgingly yet quickly arm themselves against people approaching or in one case forcibly entering their homes with criminal intent.
