I don't actually have a 'night stand' or table near my bed. Got one of those big old fancy headboards with drawers and cupboard-style compartments. Where it is , I can reach my CZ-75 even with my hands under the pillows.

Some of my house rules are;
1. no smoking!
2. no kids!

The friends that do visit are my age (53) or better and kids aren't an issue.
