Mos 500A w/ factory synthetic & 18.5 w/front bead -- loaded w/ 3" Rem #00 buck.
A longtime companion, over half my life, fired < 100 times. It is for that day in whatever form it might come. ostly, these days--in case of my neighbor's bull if it comes calling.
I have an SKS right beside my bed. It's an original Tula 1950 with attached bayonette, sling etc. Because of the storage laws in Canada, it's in a gun cabinet (alone) which I put the key in at night. It also has 8 stripper clips in their appropriate pouches which have rounds on them at the ready.
There is also one stripper clip sitting beside the gun if quick loading is needed.
I figure this firearm in this state should suit any need I should have for a firearm in a hurry.
At work, which is a no no zone.... closest weapon of any type is either a pair of scissors, manufacturer unknown, or a ball-point pen, a Bic Mk2, medium point, in black. :-D
My Glock 27 is sitting on the end table by my couch. Right now I'm using a Glock 23 mag wearing the grip extension loaded with Winchester Ranger hollowpoints.
It's a Bulgarian Makarov with Silver Bear HP ammo. I keep it nearby in case someone knocks on the door in the evening. Even with the peephole in the door I hate being on the other side of a standard exterior door from someone I haven't identified.
About 10 steps away is a Walther P99 AS with .40 S&W 180gr Speer Gold Dots in the magazine. Just a few steps closer is an S&W M&P15 Sport with Hornady .223 55gr soft points in a nearby dry box.
At this exact moment, there are 7 equidistant to my keyboard..... within inches it might be a mossberg 500 with a sec BBL.... homebrew .311 and .457 buckshot combo loads, I suppose.
About 4 feet away is a T/C Black Diamond XR inline muzzle loader. I's got 90 grains of triple 7 powder behind a 240 grain T/C XTP saboted bullet. Primer is in the cargo pocket of my hunting pants in the next room. If someone breaks in, it will make a great club.
