WTF

Many times, the real question should be " have you slept with a loaded weapon"

Is that what the kids are calling it nowadays?

Posted: 9/24/2004 9:37:48 PM EDT

[#5]

Yes, I have. We used protection though.

Every night...a loaded P220 under the pillow.

A year in the Army in Korea, you do not leave anything unsecured on Camp Henry, slicky boy will carry of your damn boots if you don't keep them close, you bet I slept with a rifle.

Yes, but I didn't get her name.

Lot to be said here.

Yes, I HAVE slept wth a loaded weapon, but the situation(s) was/were freakish.
I generally want my weapons far enough away so that I have to take at least 2 walking(read AWAKE)steps from me.

And yes, I have slept with a rifle. Basic training.

...only after getting it nice and drunk....

sorry...couldn't resist! Yes...either a Steyr S40 .40 S&W or a Sig P229, also in .40 S&W sleeps the night away on my nightstand.

Posted: 9/24/2004 9:50:05 PM EDT

Yes, more nights than I could count.

The 1911 is always in the IWB holster. Awake, the holster is on my belt. Asleep, it's under the other pillow.

Yes it was a 4 bore ,and did take a little vasaline,but I don't think it ever did the true meaning of a lasting relationship!

Maybe I didn't try hard enough!!!

I thrash around to much to have it under the pillow. So it's located ................ and easily reachable withoUT the invader seeing he grab it.

Posted: 9/24/2004 10:41:53 PM EDT

[#28]

Many, many, many times.

Every night I have a Browning Hi-Power under my pillow, and a Remington 870 hidden just under the bed skirt. The BHP has a 17rnd mag in it, and I have 3 more on the headboard. I don't play...

My loaded USP45f sleeps on my bed with me, and one of my AR's next to the bed, leaning on the headboard post.

Posted: 9/24/2004 11:41:39 PM EDT

[#33]

1911 under the pillow, a Colt SP-1 withduplex mags on the right and a M-21 on the left with a Winchester 1300 at my feet, then there is much much more but OpSec prevents further detail.

Yes, I've had loaded weapons in my sleeping bag with me many many times with the Army. One night I slept with a SAW with 800 rounds, the mount for the saw, an m16 with 210 rounds, and my m9 on my hip. Fun stuff.

Posted: 9/24/2004 11:47:38 PM EDT

[#35]

A Badger Ordnance tactical latch will jab you in the ribs. Uncomfortable to say the least. Especially when you sleep on a concrete floor like me

Posted: 9/25/2004 12:25:19 AM EDT

[#36]

Mag full tube dry CZ-75B

Posted: 9/25/2004 12:47:21 AM EDT

[#37]

Yep, many nights with an M4 and an M9. Have also slept "on" my weapon - M1A1 Abrams - keeps you warm during a cold winter night.

I guess it's save to assume you kept your sleepiong bag unzipped so you could be in there too.

I haven't ever slept with a weapon. but Ma Danby does every night. I am a deadly weapon a razor sharp killing machine.

As noted by somebody above, there are some things close, but I need to be awake to get to them. In other words I want to be thinking when I get my hands on it.

Every night, no exceptions!

Hunter out...

Define "with". I voted "yes", but I don't have any guns literally in the bed with me, but a few less than arm's reach away.

Posted: 9/25/2004 1:30:51 AM EDT

I am sleeping with a weapon at my side--the hubby.

Many times, many types, many places, many reasons.

Posted: 9/25/2004 1:52:06 AM EDT

Yes, we are very close.

[#44]

The "sleepwalkers", the most unspoken genre of gun owners, keeping the "peeping tom" population in check every night, thank you!

"Within reach" is my final answer. G-19 w/meps, to be more specific...it's eyes are open when mine are closed.

Posted: 9/25/2004 9:34:07 AM EDT

[#45]

Yes but not always the same gun every night.

Guess I'm a gun whore.

I sleep on a bottom bunk... I always store a folding knife or 2 clipped to the bottom of my brother's bed, within arm's reach... its just convenience with a touch of "Be Prepared"

nightly wife has G21 under her pillow I have a G35 under mine and wedged in a rigged holder between the bed and wall is my FrankenAR-15

What good is having a gun if it isn't good to go within a few seconds?

I know people have kids and such, but in that situation I guess I would have it in a lockbox next to bed and unlock it at sleepy time and lock it in the morning, but I wouldn't wanna be fumbling a lock knowing somebody unwanted is in the house....
