I will share an anecdotal story that happened 35-40 years ago. I was a young cop, married. I Slept with a gun on the night stand beside me.
One night I was dreaming that someone broke into my home and was coming into the bedroom. I was nervous (in my slumber) and began weighing my options. I could pretend I was asleep and maybe the burglar would go away, I could grab my gun and shoot him, or I would hit him with my fist.
Still dreaming, I decided to strike out at him with my fist and socked my wife right along her left cheek. She woke up screaming, "Ow, you sonfab@#*"
Since that time I never sleep with a gun so close that I can grab it unless I am awake and aware.
I don't know I guess its funny (after all these years).
My wife sure didn't think so.
ETA I just realized this was in the rifle country thread.
Good thing I didn't have a rifle. I might have butt stroked her.
Ok, that didn't sound right but guys know what I mean.
Hah!!! I've done the same thing a few times! Usually I'm smacking some random person or a big spider!
