Home defense weapons and ammo

[MT2008]

I think the night stand is definitely the way to go. I don't know anybody who sleeps with their pistol under their pillow.

My night stand pistol is a SIG 226 loaded with 115 grain Speer GoldDot rounds. I also have a Mossberg 500 Mariner in my closet, though I rarely load that one or keep it out for defense.

Makes me wish I had a nightstand. Until I can get my shotty out of the safe I'll just have to stick to my "stab people until I can get to my closet" plan

[MT2008]

If your gun stays in the safe, then by definition, it's pretty much not a home defense weapon.

I meant that next time I get into the safe, Im going to take my shotgun and stick it on the gunrack above my bed. Until then I'd have to get my 4506 out of the top of my closet if someone breaks in

I typically keep whatever I'm carrying that day either under my bed or on a table next to my bed. Typically that's either a Springer 1911 Loaded Black Stainless .45acp or a Springfield XD .40s&w, but I've also been known to have my Glock 17 or my HK P2000 there too.

As for long guns, I have a bunch of options but the best 3 are either the Mossberg 500 Persuader 12ga, the Bushmaster AR-15, or the AK-47 clone. I typically dont leave those out of the safe though. But at least the safe is in my room.

I have a couple guns in my personal safe that's in my room, but one is my Browning hunting rifle and the other is my M44, neither of which is even remotely suitable for home defense. Then there's my High Standard, which won't even feed the ammo I use for home defense, so that's out. Above my bed is the Wincheter 88, but there is no way in hell I'm using that for defense unless I really need to. Finally, there is my 4506, which suits my needs but is in my closet because I don't have a nightstand

I dont have one but I like my friends style which is a Semi-auto mini-uzi between his bed and the nightstand.

Well, I try not to think of the sea can I'm living in as home, but I keep my Hi Power hanging off the bedpost in my shoulder rig.

Of course that's more of a "get dressed quickly so I can sleep longer" thing than anything.

I wish I had a Hi-Power
