Current Events > Would you buy a bedside gun holster?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Nope. Im perfectly fine with mine being locked up in my safes.

Nope. I'm perfectly fine with not contributing to our country's massive gun problem

Pretty sure that's illegal at my place.

No, because even if I had ED, I know that this is not an effective way to handle it.

Why not go the extra step?

No point since guns are banned by law in The UK unlike trigger happy Yankeeland!

Nah Im fine with mine in the nightstand drawer.

Can I have a shogun under the bed instead?

No need for one as I don't ever plan on owning guns

Is that a fingerprint reader?

Nope. Gun goes on top of nightstand if I have to get up and investigate a potential intruder, knife goes in between mattress and boxspring for close quarters defense (in case wake up to being strangled/beaten).

Perfect for those times you absolutely need to accidentally blow your partners head off.

No, not safe enough with children around.

I'll never trust that. Used to have to use one to clock in at work and many times I had to do it again cause it didn't read. Usually had to wash my hands to clock out using it.

Maybe although I dont really trust finger print readers tbh.

Yeah. It essentially shows that it's for show... It's the same as having a gun safe next to your bed right? It just looks cooler.

There's always the risk of it not being easily accessible when you need it.

I would have to have a gun first and that's a no.

I saw this on the worlds dumbest products show

No, that's goober behavior

I keep my gun safe under my bed with two pistols in it.

Of course not, because I live in a country with actual gun control laws, very little gun crime, and I have no desire to ever own a gun.

I wouldn't buy that one but I would buy something to store a gun next to a bed that doesn't require opening or potential failure of a fingerprint scanner.

With a gun safe if I used one for bedside storage would be one of those that got the 4 dials and you put in code. Before going to bed of a night I'd just have it one dial turn to open it. I did this when I was in rehab. We had night stands with a drawer you could place a pad lock on. If I woke up and wanted a snack or a cigg I didn't wanna possibly wake up room mates fiddling with the lock cause I'd definitely need light and it's not like I had a flash light. And yeah you had to lock your shit up. Snacks might be left alone but ciggs where gold out there

I don't worry about a safe though. I don't have kids. I do have 2 though. One for a vehicle and a big one. I use the big one cause I don't need all my guns out at one time.

Nope I'm fine with it under my pillow. Way faster to reach for if you wake up with someone standing over your bed

you have issues if you worry about being home invaded. either paranoia, or, you're messed up in some bad doodoo

Or live in a bad area. Or work a profession in which just the nature of your job makes enemies. I.e. law enforcement corrections etc. I have had a death threat put on me.

Fortunately I think he was too drunk that night to remember or was at least more rational once sobered up. But he was a ranking gang banger so I still took it serious

I don't even own a bedside gun.

I was expecting a lot worse but at least it's trying.

Fingerprint readers are only as reliable as their usually horrible key bypass.

Not necessarily. Random break ins are a thing. Even in nice neighborhoods. And athletes and movie stars are known to constantly have their homes broken into since the whole world knows they aren't going to be home at certain times when they're working.

As I've said before, I've had credable threats against my person from chuds who got butthurt about me removing some of their signage from a public park and identified me.

I only bring this up as context for me saying the the following. This is fucking absurd. Like bonkers. I cannot imagine how miserable it must be to go through life being so paranoid as to think you might you need this. It must be exhausting.

Loaded and in my nightstand is good enough.

Horrible logic. Last year Nancy Pelosi's home was invaded and her husband got his dome cracked open.

Better to have and not need than need and not have. The US is dangerous

I just keep it under my pillow >_>

Not secure enough for my taste personally. The very least I would trust would be a safe that covers the entire pistol.

Something like this. Biometric, keypad, and traditional lock and key backup.

I feel safes are only a good choice if you are an incredibly light sleeper or have some means like an alarm or a dog that will bark to wake you up. Cause they get to your room you won't have time

And also if you have kids. Then yeah most places by law they need to be in a safe

Oh yeah, I fully believe in alarm systems too. Wakes you up and hopefully scares off the potential threat altogether.

A good gun safe should have zero entry points for tools or anything that can manipulate the latch.

Not all of them. Average cop response time is 15 minutes so some do a Smash and grab. Break in hit the most expensive things they see and run.

Used to be a TV show about it. But they where pros they did more than a Smash and grab. They tore the whole house up using up atleast 10 minutes out of that 15

Good show. It was to educate people how easily it can be done. Once they did it they'd upgrade the person's security not just alarms but like better locks etc. Then they'd come back at a random time within a week get the people to come out of the house immediately and try again cause the stuff on works I'd they utilize it.

Believe it was called it takes a thief. They where former criminals who turned over a new leaf and became security experts

So the foot or two of distance between your bed and your night stand is the difference between totally normal and reasonable or absurd, bonkers, miserable paranoia?

doesn't seem like a legal storage method

Here storage methods mostly only apply to if kids are in the house. Differs state bybstate but the owners manual for every gun I've had states the laws on this. I'm assuming the states not listed don't have any laws on it

I just keep one in my nightstand. I use to always just keep my guns in a bag in my gaming room. But not after covid. The burglaries weve been getting here the last year are just insane. Thugs from Cali in stolen Kias cruising up and down neighborhoods. This week alone, an old lady got woken up by two suspects who tied her down, pepper sprayed her and her dog and ransacked the house. In broad daylight.

Yesterday, we had a Kia crew knock on someones house to see if it was open. Busted the door down, pepper sprayed the dog, and emptied their house.

and not after, not once, but twice, Ive caught kids trying to check my car door handles at like 10pm

I believe I thwarted a robbery like that. Was sitting in the house with no lights on. (It was getting dark but not enough I couldn't see) no cars in the driveway and this guy comes and knocks on the door when I swing open the door he had a half shocked half worried look on his face and he just blurted out wrong house and went off in a hurried pace before I could respond.
