Do You Keep a Gun Handy At Night? Where Do You Keep It? Under Your Pillow? In a Drawer?

My pet, ED does that for me. He ain't great on stairs though, but we're working on that. :cool:

To answer the first question: Yes. To the next two: guess

I have two my sig 238 in the drawer and my shot gun next to my bed

Years ago, I don’t even remember what forum I was on at the time, a guy admitted that someone had broke into his house at night and stole his gun off his nightstand.
Personally I have a dog to hopefully prevent that from happening.

 

[protoolman]

In my cleavage, plenty of room there! :)

Desert Eagle I'm assuming or NAA mini?

 

[Rustynuts]

Yep, a few !

Just don’t post your address with the locations.

Don't keep a loaded handgun easily accessible. I have followed the advice given to me decades ago. I was working all sorts of different shifts and my wife and kids were often alone at night. The advice came from my dad. It's so simple in it's wisdom. "Keep them outside".

While nothing is foolproof, you can do things that don't make your house look like a jail yet make it very, very hard to get inside.

"Don't keep a loaded handgun easily accessible." My father gave me the exact opposite advice.

He at the same time told me that just about the worst thing you can do in this life is kill a man. In fact there is only one thing worse than that, having the need to and not the means.

I keep a loaded weapon in my “thunderwear”. Keep a gun there too!

You seem to be a very inquisitive person.

You have ED?
Sorry to hear that.

I also have hide-holes in every room for small arms. Invisible ( built by me in some cases), and only I know that they exist.

I would suggest you make a list of of the hiding places for a couple reasons: As you get older the memory gets a bit weak and in the event you pass away your family shouldn't have to play hid & seek to find all the firearms.

I'm already looking for one of those xray guns that cops use for when my FIL passes. He likes to hide them behind walls and stuff.

 

[pyth0n]

Yes.

But they will get inside. Then what?

 

[pyth0n]

Who in their right mind wouldn't keep one handy at night?
Ask the question over at DU and you'll get a far different response and likely a higher percentage of fibbers.

DU ?

But they will get inside. Then what?

Not without a great deal of noise and physical destruction. By then I'll be wide awake and armed with something adequate to deal with the situation. Also, I should note my only ground level windows and doors are towards the front of my house. To get to the back you must pass through a long hallway. Odds of making to the rear of the house are slim and none.

Nothing in the front of my house is worth my wife's or my life. But the dust bunnies under the couch are more valuable than the life of an intruder.

I am. You never know when you will pick up a new idea for a convenient gun keeping spot. Why not enquire of other gun loving Americans? They are who keeps America free, even if half the population does not want to be.

DU ?

Democratic Underground, it's a special place, with special people...
Like NPR, it's where you go to learn how the enemy thinks.

The bed stand is too far away for comfort, almost a foot. And under the pillow sounds uncomfortable. So holding one in my hand while I sleep seems to work best. I do have to tape it on every night, but that just goes with the territory

I have posted before what I have and the reasons for such heavy firepower. We are on our 4th Lasha Apso dog. Best watch dog ever. Bred in Tibet for an inside watch dog for the yurts they live in. They are small and easy to care for, loving and easy to handle. I think they can hear a mouse pass gas.

A strong magnet just might help.

I am at that. But if you are concerned, do not post your address.

Have a small safe near bed now. Back when single and no kids, used to hang a shoulder holster with glock 19 and two spare magazines in it on chair back ready to put on.
