My EDC is a CT laser equipped 360PD AirLite with .38 spl Hornady hollow points. This firearm is always on me even at night and when I sleep.

A nightstand gun is also present, usually a .45 with night sights, either my other carry gun, a 457 equipped with XS "Big Dots" on it, although I may choose my 4546 for one more round and the ability to use it as a bludgeon if it runs dry.

I like to have a short long gun with laser and streamlight attached. I keep it handy, propped up by my bed. This can be a pistol gripped Mossberg 500 or for extended use if needed, a Sig MCX in 300 BLK.

If I have time and I hear something outside my door I'll rack the shotgun as fair warning and possible deterrent. I keep the shotgun unchambered but with the pump mechanisum released so I can chamber a round during the act of picking it up. I do this with my left hand while holding my nightstand gun in my right hand should the sound of the racking initiate an attack instead of deterring it.
