I thought of this today. Why not just keep a pair of shorts/pants by the bed, with the basics needed for HD (holstered pistol, spare mag in mag carrier, flashlight) attached to the belt already and the belt threaded through the loops? Phone on the desk next to the bed, if I hear a bump in the night just change out of my PJs into the shorts (a matter of seconds) and then grab the phone and I'm ready.
If I place it on the ground just right, not only will the shorts be fairly out of sight, but they can also hide the gun while appearing to be just a bit of lazy laundry. As a bachelor, that wouldn't be all that surprising for me to have lying around anyway
It doesn't get me the long gun right there, but quickly gets me both presentable and prepared, and then I can go retrieve the long gun from the closet.
