Where do you keep your home defense weapon?

[GlockDog47]

Glock 23 in my night stand, in safe when I leave.

Would you like a floor plan of our house and combo to the safe too?

I put all of that including the map to the house and our travel schedule on Facebook.

...better hurry to get a good spot in line.

For those that keep a gun in the house, and their house/apartment/Etc. is a wood framed house with sheetrock walls: Please, buy a couple of 2x4's, a piece of sheetrock, and some insulation and build a wall that imitates what you have between rooms or separating you from your neighbors. What you read on the internet or hear in gun shops does not always equal reality. Most ammo will go FAR further through walls made of sheetrock than what gets passed off as fact on gun forums. Test it for yourself.

Just the combo and your schedule-Thanks

Make it easy and give me directions to your place. Thanks!

Seriously? Thanks for the replies that answered the topic. No one forced you to open this thread. If you're so paranoid you think I'm some how going to track down your address and target you because "now I know where your guns are!" Maybe you need to relax a little bit and have a beer.... or move to a safer neighborhood. I'm well aware of violent crime... spent 27 years in the great <sarcasm> city of Chicago where I was robbed 4 times both at gun and knife point. This is a thread about sharing ideas and what works for you. DavieD55, that is exactly what I was looking to make, but underneath the bed skirt. My wife sleeps on the side of the bed that faces the wall, so even if it was exposed like that there is no reason anyone other than us should see it.

I can't think of what they're called, but that's a commercial product made to fit between the mattress and box springs, and hang a shotgun on. Then the comforter covers it up. Basically flat steel straps with hanger hooks on the ends, connected together with another strap across the back, and coated with something to not scratch your gun. A guy could make something similar very easily.

Found it - called The Back Up. They make them for pistols too. My wife would shit down both legs if I put one on our bed. But she lives in a Condition White world.

Thanks! Definitely not paying $40 for that! But I will try and build my own

I'm at the age where I'd rather just buy it and be done.

$10 in kydex and a heat gun and you can make that yourself.

I have a 2.5yr old son, a ninja master could not get through the house in the middle of the night in the minefield he leaves without waking half the town or breaking an ankle. Plenty of time to open the safe, choose a weapon, have coffee, read the paper, and oh yeah, shoot bad guy.
