Do you move your bedside gun to your safe or other hiding place when you leave the house for the day? To me it seems like the bedside would be the first place an intruder would look if he broke in while no one was at home.
What do you do with your bedside gun?

I keep my bedside guns where they are. I live in a pretty remote area and also got very big, guard dog trained dobermans to protect my stuff.

It goes right onto my hip and with me everywhere I go.
I lock up the shotgun.

It takes less time to lock things up in the morning and unlock it at night than it does to brush my teeth. I've been doing it for so long it's just an automatic ritual.

My nightstand IS a safe, bolted to the floor, with a cloth over it for decor, and for my clock radio, etc... In the morning, back in the safe.

This sums it up for me as well. My daily CCW weapon is my nightstand gun.

Guns will either be on my person or locked up in a safe when I am not home.

My bedside pistol is whatever I'm daily carrying.
On occassion, I back up the pistol with my 12 ga, bedside. When I do so, I lock it up when I leave for work in the morning.

Probably my military training . . . but one should never leave his/her weapon(s) unsecured or unattended.
I don't leave 'em around for the taking. I couldn't live with myself if some stoopid-azzz 15 year old got hold of a firearm and mindlessly shot someone with it. I take responsibility for every round in my weapons. Its a good habit to get into I assure you.
Great question, and one that I hope will encourage many people to keep their weapons secure at all times . . . whether in the safe, or in your pocket (where my "always" gun rests when it isn't sleeping in bed)!

I'm with S&WFan. He also surely considered as well being unable to live with it if a child got hold of one. It only takes once, and kids are kids and inherently fallible.
I keep them (2, one loaded for snakes) it in a V-Line button-lock box, bolted inside the nightstand drawer. When we are going to be gone for any length of time they go into the vault. I envy those who find it practical to always be armed, I do not find it so.
Not foolproof of course, but very convenient and it does make them quickly available. Far more important, it safely secures them from little hands, less so from others who have no business but it would take a concerted effort and time to get to them.

When I go to town I put most of the guns in the safes. Other than that they are all over the house.

When I go to bed I simply open the box so the gun is already accessable since I have no kids in the house. Even when closed it is very fast with just a little practice. In the morning I close the lid (locks automatically with spring latch) and the bedspread covers it up. It is pretty secure and bolted to the frame with locknuts on the inside.
