What was I dreaming about?!

[hoosierglock40]

I always leave my Glock on the night stand when I sleep, one in the tube ready to go. I woke up last night and my G23 was laying next to me in bed!! Scared the out of me, as Lord only knows how I was grabbing it. I think from now on I will start leaving the chamber empty or putting it in the drawer.

Has anyone else ever had this happen before or am I just crazy?

 

[SMiller]

Leave it loaded and chambered just leave it in the holster so you don't have to worry about a AD.

Lord only knows how I was grabbing it.

Which gun we talking about?

 

[Dewidmt]

If I use a striker fired gun as a nightstand weapon, it is always empty chamber...if it has a safety that must be manually operated, then I trust it to be fully loaded. Current set-up is a Glock 17 w/light...chamber empty.

I leave my Glock loaded on the night stand next to me while I sleep. I leave it in the holster though, that way there are no accidental fingers in the trigger guard.

Sounds to me like you were dreaming about that time you shot yourself in the stomach while asleep.

I leave mine next to the bed when I sleep (next to my phone, under my light) , but in a holster.

Dreaming about me again......Stop it.

Was it a dream where you see yourself standing in sort of sun-god robes on a pyramid with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at you?

My Springfield XDM is under the pillow in a partially unzipped soft case, one in the chamber, muzzle pointing toward the outside of the bed away from my wife.

I like the idea of leaving it in the holster better. As having an unloaded defense weapon just doesnt sit right with me personally.

Better yet, buy something like a Crossbreed bedside backup...

CrossBreed Holsters > Bedside/Ohai

Mine lays on the floor, just under the table where the fan sits. Security doors and big dog first.

 

[Disposable Heart]

Kind of why my bedside tables have drawers and the top drawer is dedicated to home defense items. Nothing to grab in a fit of temporary-insanity dream-rage.

 

[Bennettjh]

I keep my HD gun under the pillow. Pointed in a safe direction with safety on. I've never moved it in my sleep though, that would be scary.

 

[JetGirl]

I never actually sleep-handled my HD gun...but Mr.Jet did wake me from yelling "I NEED MY GUN!! GET ME MY GUN!!!" (of course from his perspective, it sounded more like "UH neem guhh! Geh meen gahh!). Then I sleep slapped him.

 

[Lemmitt]

I too am a fan of keeping it in my bedside table drawer. Nobody can AD or knock it off of anything in the night

 

[Sheepdog Gear]

My SR9 is on the nightstand, in a holster, and is also pointed away from the bed. Chambered. But really, my go to gun sits in one of these....

When I come in for the evening, my G17 goes in an inexpensive metal gun case. Locked, but with the key left in the lock. At night, I set it on the nightstand the same way. I figure I can quickly access the weapon,yet be sure I am wide awake when I do so. Whenever there are kids in the house, the key goes in my pocket. For me, a gun under the pillow would be a recipe for disaster.

 

[StunnedMonkey]

I dunno. If he can grab it off the nightstand while asleep, he can remove it from a holster while asleep. Unless he didn't actually grab it and just accidentally swept it off the nightstand while thrashing around.

If he really did "grab" it while asleep I'd be a bit concerned. I once dated a girl who moved about the room and talked to me while asleep and she never remembered any of it. I'd be freaked to think someone was handling a weapon like that.

To the OP...you didn't do any shrooms before bed, did you?

I've trained myself to sleep with my loaded gun in my hand with my finger on the trigger and have never had any problems. I do need to figure out why my air mattress sprung a leak though.....
