My totally-tactical super-expensive kit consists of my gun, two spare mags and a flashlight in my nightstand drawer next to my bed. If it's not there it's either on my person or in the safe

 

Welcome to the forum.

No special "kit" set up, but I have a Ruger Security 6 that resides in my night stand along with a flashlight.

 

Hey, Me too

Hello! Welcome from Southeast Kansas!

 

My bump in the night kit on my nightstand includes a .45 auto, spare mag, 130 lumens flashlight, phone, and a jumpsuit and slippers.

 

For me it's a pair of jeans and slip on shoes by the bed. A Glock 23, Surefire flashlight and cell phone on the nightstand.

 

I keep my Sig P226 and a spare magazine near the bed - two steps away. I want to be awake enough to know what I am doing. I also have a flashlight and a cell phone on my nightstand.

That said, I don't need a robe, slippers, or clothes as I am not going anywhere if I hear a prowler in the house. We keep the bedroom door locked. We are empty nesters and will call 911 and wait inside the bedroom. I am not looking to confront a bad guy doing bad things. The cops get paid for that. If somone rattles that bedroom doorknob, that's another story.

 

Glock 23, 2 spare mags, Flashlight and Cell Phone.. no special kit it just sits in the drawer.

 

SP-101 (wife is more comfortable with revolver), flashlight, and cell phone on night stand - 2 speed loaders in night stand drawer - Jeans and slippers on end of bed.

Must be careful about bumps in the night in my house, it could be one of the cats. Barks in the dark are much more alarming!

 

Hrm, I may have to check out this upcoming product, the tactical robe: Tactical Pajamas and Robe "Get You Some" - YouTube
:rofl:

 

Beamshot,

I really don't feel the need for any type of 'kit'. A cell phone (land lines are often cut to disable alarm systems), my pistol, and maybe an extra mag.

Regarding the flash light, I personally see very well in the dark. In a dark home, if I switched on a flash light it would probably stun my eyes.

One more thing. I think having a plan is far more valuable than having a 'kit'. What is the role of the wife or girlfriend? Have you thought about the most effective way to navigate the floor plan in YOUR house if needed? Have you thought about how you go around corners; I prefere weak hand out, strong hand in the low-ready position.

Just my 2cents.

 

My simple "kit" is a short, dual pistol-grip, 12ga with light already attached and loaded with 7 rounds of 00-buckshot which all lays nicely in a little rack along the top of my side bedrail.

 

Easy to fabricate with PVC pipe and a few fittings.

 

Web belt I can grab and/or sling over my shoulder. Hearing protection, cell phone, camera, flashlight, extra mags, one for each gun, maybe pepper spray. I would suggest not to have your only flashlight attached to your firearm because that would require breaking rule #1 about not indexing your firearm at anything you don't intend to destroy.

 

Hearing protection? A camera??

 

Glock with an X300 attached and cell phone.

 

No kit, just an 870 or an SR9c ready to go into action.

 

I have to agree with everyone else, just a G23 with a tactical light on a magnetic holster (really like these) on the side of the night stand.

 

I really like US Palm's idea. Mount a Serpa, extra mags, flashlight, etc.

 

My bump in the night kit is in this box (G17, 2 spare loaded mags). Flashlight and cell phone on night stand next to it.

 

I already keep my .45 and spare mags along with a 38 for the wife and a couple of Surefires in a pistol safe by the bed! My cell is always on the night stand by the bed! The guns have gotta stay in the safe if I don't have it on me since I have 4 soon to be 5 kids around the house! When I say kit I'm just looking for something to put it in and throw if over a shoulder if I have to investigate a noise! I usually have basketball shorts on around the house at night so kinda short on pockets!

 

The versatility of the Wilderness Safepacer Concealment Holster is immeasurable.

It can be used at bedside, in the car (on your seatbelt), mounted on a backpack or any number of other ways limited by your imagination?

With the shoulder strap you can just throw it on over your shoulder and still be hands free and don't even have to be dressed to use it. All your gear in one place. Car keys, gun, cell phone, flashlight or whatever. Cell phones can placed inside the accessory pocket or clipped externally to one of the D-rings with your car keys. It even accommodates guns with mounted weapon lights as well as having a handheld flashlight clipped to the strap.

Check out the video on how it can be used to keep your essential gear like your cell phone, flashlight, gun and spare mags at the ready.

 

good idea but it it makes me get that underarm sweating.... no way... pass the guy a stick of underarm deodorant

 

I have a shottie with a sure fire mounted on it ready to go by the bed, don't worry about spare ammo, its on the side saddle, Don't worry about getting dressed because there is nothing scarier than my furry hide coming down the stairs at 1am with a locked and loaded shottie in hand. If the shotgun does not work, me in the buff will.

 

I have a shotgun under the bed & my Springfield 1911 on the night stand. Just think about it. :shockwh:

 

SW 686+, SW 642, and SW 637. Each fully loaded and in a keypad safe that fits into my drawer. Flashlight, and, now, cell phone.

 

No kit. Just necessities close at hand. Clothes laid out next to bed. No light colors! No GI Joe BS either. Boots open, laces prepped if needed. Glasses, spare glasses in dresser. Cell phone on charger. Primary and secondary weapon cond I and II. 2 Surefire w/ fresh bats. One mounted on 12 ga. Note-I no longer check on anything OUTSIDE my home.Thats what police are for.If someone is in my garage I may consider launching a bird/bear banger in there just out of spite... :scratchchin:

wish list- good NVGs IE;PVS-7A

 

I take it a step further. I'm not clearing my house because that's what cops are for! I'm barricading myself, my wife and my daughter in a room with my .45, a flashlight and a cell phone and calling for help. Let the boys in blue do their job and if anyone not wearing a uniform comes through the bedroom door there's no doubt about why they went out feet first.

 

I have a Glock and a flashlight. Giddy up!

 

electronic earmuffs that amplify low level sounds, and/or muffle loud ones. I can hear a mouse fart all the way in the tv room! flashlight with strobe feature, big scary knife

wife stays in safe room with cell phone, flashlight and knife. If needed there is access to the crawlspace through the bedroom closet.

Great idea if you're being robbed by a Thanksgiving Day turkey.

 

OK. Still not understanding what we need to photograph though...............

 

The look on the BG's face when he breaks through the bedroom door and sees him holding so many things at once :blink:
