Bump in the night...where's your firearm?

[Nim]

12 ga. under bed. I can be ready without even moving the covers.

My 9mm pistol is in the dresser across the room.

My wife's .357 revolver is in the headboard compartment.

 

[billybob44]

That's a VERY good idea...

I'm not going to reveal on a public website what I've got and where it is.

That's a good thought Mango..Heck nobody around here has any guns+are looking for ones to "Pick Up"...

Can you tell us where you live??? Keep your gun location secret...Bill.

 

[Boost Lee]

Needs more options....

I keep two within arms reach.

Certainly not paranoid either. They're there every night and it's second nature to make sure of their location before I shut my eyes.

 

[GLOCKMAN23C]

I didn't see an option for oc/cc.

 

[chezuki]

I didn't see an option for oc/cc.

Or Bacon which is mandatory for ALL INGO polls.

 

[SmithGuy]

In a pistol safe near the bed. The safe has a cipher lock that can be opened in less than one second in the dark.

 

[BigMoose]

I sleep with my M14. Because the gunny told me too!

 

[FiReBReTHa]

not my image, (too tired to grab one)

Securelogic safe. One downside is the beeps when hitting each key is loud.

 

[BigShow]

AR15 with Eotech sight and 30 round mag within reach. Load bearing vest hanging ready to put on 4' away. The LBV is loaded with 10 30 round mags, Glock 22 in holster and 4 extra mags, and 12" combat knife. Night vision device 7' away along with mag light. Everything is placed between me and the door so I can pick up each piece as I go toward the door of my room. Gas mask within reach of bed. My room is a bunker, 12" concrete block walls filled with fiber reinforced concrete and re bar. 12" fiber reinforced concrete with re bar roof. Shooting port from room aimed directly toward the basement door to outside. Shooting port is located so I can set up in bed and cover the door. I am not paranoid, I was/am an Eagle scout and the Boy scout motto of always be prepared is a way of life. Or atleast I try to be ready for everything.

 

[CPT Nervous]

On the nightstand, 1 foot away.

Seriously, 5 feet? I'm NEVER 5 feet away from a gun.

 

[davedolli]

Very close.

MIKE-OSCAR-MIKE, the basement is secure!!

 

[zippy23]

its on the night stand right next to the bed, right next to my face, of course pointing in a safe direction.

 

[netlander10]

1911 and an AR within arms reach

 

[marcp]

Not enough options. Mine's within arms reach, but not under a pillow with my hand on it.

^^^This.

 

[jb1911]

If I hear a bump in the night, it's in my hand. Before that there's a G26 on the night stand and an 870 with #1 buck under the bed.

 

[cmamath13]

Not enough options listed...

 

[45fan]

While not quite under my pillow with my hand on it, there is at least one handgun with spare mag ( or speed loader) within inches of my head, and usually a long gun (typically a shotgun) less than a few feet away. The wife is sleeps with a similar setup on her side of the bed as well.

Depending on my current work schedule and hunting season there may be a few other options within a few steps of the bed as well, as I tend to leave out guns that I am working up loads for, or taking out for hunting on a daily basis if there is going to be someone home throughout the day.

 

[Hohn]

Unloaded and far enough away that I might as well not even own it.

Don't ask, it's a touchy point of contention at present between the better half and me.
