Where else are you going to keep it? The fridge? Hell I keep my muzzle loader next to my desk, mostly because I just got it and have yet to find a proper place for it.
From the other comments I concluded that in the UK the gun stays at the police station. But even if an officer were to be allowed to take it home, in most developed countries it has to be stored in a safe. And the key must be unavailable for anyone other than the permit holder.
It’s still weird to keep it in a drawer
