I have a small pistol lock box bolted to the top of my nightstand. I just lock it when I leave and unlock it when I'm home. I don't have kids so I'm not too worried about securing it.

Do you guys leave your night stand guns, in the night stand, when you leave home? The only gun I like left out of the safe, is the one that I'm going to be carrying. With that being said, it has always bothered me to know there has been a gun left out at home BUT I sometimes lay down and forget to put the night stand gun in the night stand. What do you guys do? Damn dude, you are seriously data mining this place the past few days. Is all this questioning for a paper or something? |

my nightstand gun is disposable
it's a hipoint c9 only gun I don't lock up. not my go to gun for self defense, just the one I'll use if I can't get to the safe in the next room. |

Yeah, I actually leave a pistol and a rifle in the nightstand, but this is my nightstand:
Not a great safe by any stretch, but better than leaving unsecured firearms laying about the house. Access is fast if locked (but I unlock before going to bed). |

Lock them up. This. I guess I could see it if you lived alone, but even then it's a bit uhhh. I however am not alone and have kids so the night stand gun is in a small, quick access safe on the nightstand. |

Soon enough I'll have to change the way I store mine. Right now the kids are only home when one of us is home, and the bedroom door is locked. None of the kids that are here at any given time can't reach the handle. Not a big deal to just put it in the safe each morning and out each night, my carry gun sits up high at night and goes in my pocket right in the morning. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I'm not trying to question your methods, you know what's going on better than anyone...however, the second you have a kid living in the house, the gun should go in a safe. A locked door isn't good enough. This is just friendly advice from an instructor and not a kick in the balls. |

I used to have a Gunvault, but I came to realize that they are untrustworthy junk.
My current nightstand safe. My nightstand gun is usually not my carry gun.

That way I'm not reliant on batteries. The size and shape is perfect and I think it would take some work to break into one that was properly bolted down. |

nightstand gun is my EDC. Glock 23 goes with me. If I'm going to carry my glock 27, the 23 goes in the safe.

Nighstands are either next to my bed or locked up in the safe. Any dissenters are faggots.

The low battery warning would sound after a month, and I was changing the batteries just as often. Then the low battery warning stopped working, and the thing would just go dead without warning. When I replaced it, I thought it might be better to buy something serviceable. And I wanted something that offered more room. |

Wife has a gun in her night stand (CZ75). It stays there 24/7. My nighttime gun is always at least a 1-stamp, and sometimes 2-stamp NFA weapon. It goes in the safe before we leave the house for the first time each day, at which point I get my CCW out. At night, the CCW goes in the safe, and the nighttime gun comes out.
If our house gets robbed, the additional anguish of losing her CZ probably isn't going to be much compared to the rest of the stuff they'll get. |

USP with light. My carry gun does not have a light and is stored in another safe *somewhere* near the entrance/exit. Two different guns for too different environments. |
