Securing Your Bedside Firearm?

[Erion929]

No kids, no bedside safe on 2nd floor....I use a strong $12 gun magnet and it works great. Easy to grab, hidden from view

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?

"I try to remember to place it back in my safe...." is not safe enough. As noted by another, get a gun vault witb a simplex lock.

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.

Good idea with the panic button on the car....seems like a smart idea especially half asleep it'll wake your butt up fast and hopefully the intruder high tails it outta there in a hurry

I take a pistol out of my safe each night before I go to sleep and put it on the nightstand next to the bed. I rotate between pistols but make sure it has a light attached to it.

I put it back in the safe in the morning.

I thought everyone keeps a handgun under the pillow and if something were to happen, you grab both gun and pillow and use the pillow as a suppressor by shooting through it?

SSSSSHHHHHHHH!!! They're going to ban pillows if you keep talking like that

OP, IMO buy a 'quick access' safe. Costco had a sale on them earlier this month. Forgot the brand, damnit.

Just a suggestion...

I have one of those little fingerprint safes under my bed... I do have to admit to keeping the Glock with a 17 round mag and night sights in it.... but there is a 1911 next to it at least.

Get one of the Canon velocity vaults from amazon or next time they are on sale at costco. Open at night, close in the morning.

What, no one sleeps with it on? Surely I can't be the only one...

I put mine in my lockable night stand since i have a 2.5 year old. I unlock it when i am ready for bed and lock it when i grab my keys to go to work in the morning.
