Well lets see now, bumps in the night can take on many forms from the was that the dog knocking over the trashcan in the kitchen again to the entire sliding glass door exploding as a brick goes flying into it.
Plus is it day or night time, yes I realize we are addressing bumps in the night, nighttime, but all here know you get those odd bumps in the daytime as well which send your antennae up too!
General, nighttime I think the dog is in the trash again- Walther P99 or Glock 17 and Surefire E2E depending on which I placed on the nite stand before bed.
Odd bump, not too loud but stirring, never heard before- Again Walther or Glock with Surefire E2E, make way quickly to bedroom door, listen and determine if something may be wrong.
If I feel more firepower may be needed the Shotty (Wilson Combat Standard Model Remington 870) comes out of the closet.
If the sound is enough to send me standing straight up in the bed, condition double red my Springfield SOCOM 16 with 30 round mags comes out from under the bed. My three Shepards will be going nuts by now (all down stairs) should cause the intruders enough worry for me to determine if I want to hold up in my room or head out.
Daylight would be much the same.
The last big alert I had around Camp Sleepy was in daylight, when I saw someone creeping around the Westside of my house just about sundown.
I live on a large parcel of property, which unfortunately borders on a rather bad trailer park. All that separates me from them is a large tree line and a few strands of barbwire.
I greeted this particular individual with a proper GTFOOH and my Walther P99, he quickly complied.
