Having young children of my own (ages 1 & 3) we decided to get a small digital entry safe for our bedroom. It stays on my side of the bed, but usually it's only my wifes gun is in there. Mine is either on my person, or laying on top of our armoire (which is only at night after the kids are asleep). I carry with one in the chamber and my M&P40C has no ext safety. Keep your finger off the bang switch and you won't have any problems.
