I'm not comfortable keeping a gun on the nightstand.

I keep my Mossy (cruiser ready) within 5 feet just beside my armoire on my side of the bed, slightly illuminated by a low green light (it's not visible to anyone entering the room). I keep my M&P in the armoire.

As mentioned before if someone was to get in the bedroom and not wake me up they could get my gun if it's on the night stand or worse yet I could have a nightmare and shoot my wife.....

She keeps her 22 in the nightstand on her side of the bed.
