Recommendation for Bedside gun

[kraynky]

My early warning system is this little guy. As long as he's startled enough to drop his toy. Bedside without getting up, is an FNX 40, but the 18.5" Mossberg 500 is against the wall within reach when my feet hit the floor.

I hope Captain's ears and sudden barking fury from being startled awake is all I ever need to use. But I was a Boy Scout (about 1970 or so), and I never forgot the motto......... "Be Prepared".

I keep a Chief's special with two extra speed loaders.

Now, I would ask a question.....Of those that posted, how many ever had to actually pull out their house gun in a defensive situation?

Nice. I've got one of those at my bedside too. Although the Mossberg 590 Shockwave would be my first choice, the Judge is quicker to deploy and still packs a wicked punch.

I have had situations occur in which I thought it prudent to be more prepared. The most recent was likely 5 years ago - my dog startled awake and started barking at something, which was unusual.
Threw on sweats, cell phone in pocket with hands free earpiece, called LE, slung and charged AR. When LE arrived, I left the gun in the house and went and spoke to the officer.
Have I pointed a gun at anyone outside of LE service? Nope.

welp.....
before the family retires for the evening , we roll out visqueen plastic sheeting and cover the entire house ( only in the carpeted areas ).
if any would be bad guys dont get the hint that they are making a tremendous mistake , and continue into the house they will be greeted by lead projectiles, being sent their way from multiple angles.
These projectiles will be in a variety of shapes and sizes , from a variety weapons.....No discrimination here...trench guns , side arms , rifles ect...

sorry gang - Im feelin' funny today....but not funny like a clown

have a great day folks!

If someone broke into my house and discovered how destitute I am, they would probably offer donations.

A Taurus g2 is what I carry. Never had any FTE or FTF.

Take the Judges and Shockwaves to the gun show, sell them, and use the money to buy real defensive guns.
