I'm the same way, plus the dogs (even though they're Pekingese) bark a lot, and wake me right up. In the nightstand I'll go, pick up the "nightstand" gun, or go to bigger and better things, should the SHTF :biggrin:LPguy said:My dog always alerts me at sounds even the slightest out of the ordinary. Other than that, I sleep pretty well.

BTW ~ Find another more creative place to put your firearm beside having it "on display" on top of your night stand or buy a fingerprint recognition lock box.
Don't arm your intruder.
That's why I am such an advocate of having my gun on floor just below where my arm and hand naturally drop, from under covers. The gun too is hardly visible - but always pointing in right direction for easy non visual pickup and aquisition.I always feared leaving a gun on a nightstand for a stealthy bad guy that has defeated the alarm, broken in quietly, picked the lock to my bedroom door, taken out the dog and managed not to wake me up.

Otis said:Do you guys lock your bedroom door at night? Bumper just made me think of this. I always leave it open, thinking I'll hear something better, but now that I think about it, it makes sense to lock the door. One more obstacle for the intruder.
