Securing Your Bedside Firearm?

[EliteCorp]

Whats the best way to secure your bedside firearm, without a gun safe? Myself, I keep my bedside Glock sticking out of the top of the drawer of my nightstand so that I may grab it quickly if needed. Once I wake up, I try to remember to place it back into my safe. I sometimes forget to take it back out. Im wondering if anyone has any better ideas?

Maybe put some of those magnets under the top of the nightstand so you can't see the gun when you open the drawer?

Lockbox. With a mechanical simplex lock. It's simple, quick and easy. Something like this...

I sleep with a glock on my hip and an 870 across my chest. Jk, glock I keep on my bedside. Afterwards, it goes into a lock box and into the dresser.

Bed Holster

I have a bed holster. It held in between the mattress and Box spring. It's right their when I reach down the side of the bed. It's a keeper for me.

My solution was to keep a dedicated home defense gun in a heavy duty handgun safe that is bolted down. Always available, but secure and nothing to have to remember as far as putting it away.

My gun stays out of reach from any visitors, etc. Hard to do without a good handgun safe. Your method seems to lack consistency and that's a problem. Murphy's Law, you know.

When I leave for work I take a few seconds and put it in the safe it literally takes seconds....seems pretty easy

This! Pistol goes on the nightstand before bed, then back in the safe in the AM

Keep your keys on the safe. When you get your keys, you have to pass by your safe, which should remind you to get your gun and put it there.

I have my Mossberg 12 gauge under my bed within arms reach. I have my car keys next to me. Should I hear signs of an intruder or if the home alarms goes off, I'm triggering the panic alarm on my car. I hope that the intruder then runs away since I'd rather have them leave than to have a shoot out.

Like the keys idea.

I want to make one of those "hidden shelf" nightstands.

Something that can be lifted or pulled quickly, but not easily seen by a snatch and grab thief.

Many YouTubes on this subject.

make a license plate size sign and hang it up where you can see it with a reminder

Secure all firearms in safe before leaving

Lots of nice little lock-boxes available, even at Amazon
