Have a Pistol Under Your Pillow?

[BHPshooter]

The firearm is always pointing up (in relation to you laying in the bed) just under the pillow. It is also in condition 3 (full mag, nothing in chamber).

It's been a while since I posted that, and in that time I have rethought that position, in no small part due to that old thread on TFL, mentioned earlier. Now it is in the same place, cocked and locked, and still in a holster.

Been like that for a long time, and it doesn't go anywhere.

I don't believe that it will work for everyone, though. Particularly rough sleepers need not apply, but for light sleepers, or people like me* it just might work.

*I am a freak. Visits to some doctors when I was a youngster determined that unlike a vast majority of people, my brain doesn't shut down when I sleep. It keeps humming and churning all night long, so every time I turn over it's like a commercial break -- I straighten out my pillow, make sure my pistol is positioned correctly, and get back to sleeping. If I hear something in the night, I do the same thing.

Under the pillow you ask

Not under my pillow. Seems unsafe to me. Besides I move around a lot during the night. With my luck the only time I would ever need it in my life I would have knocked it off the bed in my sleep and the time it takes me to find it in the dark room half a sleep gets me killed
I have a 20 guage short barrel Remington 870 on the wall next to my bed and a Colt 45 Combat Elite in the nightstand.
