Chatted up an FBI agent >50 years ago who was speaker at our Kiwanis Club. He kept his loaded firearm ready to go - in a dresser drawer across the room. His rationale was he didn't want to shoot a loved one coming out of a deep sleep state...and if an intruder had the drop on you in bed you were basically screwed [ my words. not his - was a gent like most I've met].

For over 50 years now I have to get out of bed to get a firearm.

For an old fat man I can move pretty quick.

Best.
