IMO, it just isn't the same for everybody. It isn't even the same for me. For many years, I slept with a Model 40 under my pillow. It was perfectly safe then, might be now, but I don't even care whether it is or isn't because I ain't gonna do it. My style of sleeping has changed, a couple of times, and for the last 25 years or so, my gun has been elsewhere.

I can figure out what is safe for myself. Call me unimaginative and presumptuous, but I reckon most of y'all can do likewise.
