Please tell me you're joking.



Probably in a holster. It's safe.

But I do keep my 1911 on the dresser, rather than the nightstand.

I figure by the time I wake up, get to the dresser and grab the 1911, I'm probably awake enough to use it responsibly.

Just a personal safety measure I incorporate.



Yes indeed, in a holster. And yes indeed, perfectly safe.

The only occupants in our house are my wife and myself. To verify that the bump in the night is not one of us, the other has only to check and see who's in bed and who's not. And anybody who knows us knows that barging into the house unannounced at 3 AM would be a death wish, so I think we're pretty safe in assuming that such a visitor is not a welcome guest. In addition to the 10HB, there is an AR15 on either side of the bed. My EDC resides on the nightstand beside my each night also. All that is presumably made just about 100% effective by the presence of our dog, who will raise hell if an acorn so much as hits the roof in the middle of the night. I hadn't really thought about it too much, but I guess we're pretty damned safe and secure as we slumber.



Similar here. I’ve slept with a handgun beneath my pillow since I was 16 years old. 52 years later, the only difference the handgun is a semi-auto......a holster has “never” been used! Wife has her Sig 938 on her nightstand. Once we’re up and about, she brings her Sig downstairs to the living room.....I leave my “pillow pistol” in place, grab my XDS 45ACP and head downstairs! If the grandkids come over, we collect and store the equipment! memtb
