I cannot believe...
I cannot believe how many of us actually sleep with a firearm on the nightstand.
Here's the senario:
Joe Burgerlar/Rapist/Home Invader has penetrated your home. He makes his way into your bedroom where he finds you sleeping with your significant other...a sound restful slumber. (Now I know everybody here has cat like reflexes and can wake up at the sound of a pin drop, just like or favorite heros can...
. He sees your fancy hand tooled weapon of choice sitting on the nightstand. Thsi guy figures if he can get to it first he can now truly control the situation, or at the very least walk off with it. In any case this guy can now do anything he wants, including kill you...oops!!!
I have very little, if any, patience for stupid people
and what happens to them. So if you are this person, make a choice. Make the commitment to keep it under your pillow, get an easy access safe, or for the love of mike lock the stupid up so neither you or the BG can get to it. Who knows maybe you can wrestle him or something, maybe even sick your wives or girlfriends on him.
Revolver folks, its time to buy that safe, or succumb to the automatic. Revolvers, Glocks, heck even Sig owners, these are not the types of guns you want to be handling when rubbing the sleep out of your eyes. Why??? No manual safety!!! If its 1911 or SA only, its either condition 2 or 3. DA/SA, its chamber loaded or unloaded, but if loaded the safty is ON with the hammer down.
This really is common sence type stuff, but is does require some thought. If you are single, fine get that S&W model 60 and stick it under your pillow, maybe you'll get lucky and blow whatever brain you've got left out so you can end all your problems, or just leave it on the nightstand for somebody else to do it for you. For the rest of us who are married with/without kids, our families are the most important things we've got. Don't let them be victims because of your stupidity.
