Does /k/ sleep with a loaded gun nearby? How does /k/ keep their home defense guns near?
I keep the Model 88 in pic-related unloaded, with 5 shells on the butt sleeve. When I'm awake, it sits next to wherever I'm focusing my activities (right next to my desk while gaming for instance). And when I'm asleep, I put it a few feet away from me in a nook behind the dresser next to me, so I can reach it in a second or two. I don't keep it loaded on the extremely unlikely, off-chance I fuck with it while I'm half-asleep or if someone brings a guest and they touch the trigger, the shotgun drops from its current position, etc. Would keep an AK with a loaded mag nearby if I had one, but this is the best option available.

>not keeping it loaded
>worried about a drop
You're not gonna touch it in your sleep, and keep it away from children and you will have literally no problems.
Have fun getting anally raped by Jamal when you can't load your shotgun fast enough.
>>28282581
This, where do you live OP. You sound like a good bootycall.
Seriously though shotgun loaded 5+1 with slugs and buckshot, pistols on both sides of the bed so I don't have to reach over the wife/vice versa.
Also, you'd better be at the end of a hallway and have hard to access windows.
>>28282623
Basically this. It's great to want to keep your firearm safe, but you're taking a bigger risk by keeping it unloaded.
It will be difficult to try and load that gun in a panic, with a angry dindu coming towards you.
It's easier to just flick the safety off and engage the target accordingly.
I'm not retarded enough to keep a loaded gun in my house. There is ammo in the night stand with a speed loader n a mag. I also don't own a shotgun because im not white trash. I happen to own this thing called a door so intruders can't make it into my house. I also don't live within the city limits of the ghetto so there hasn't been a BnE in my neighborhood in years as far as I know.

>Does /k/ sleep with a loaded gun nearby? How does /k/ keep their home defense guns near?
I keep my 500 against the wall right between my bed and nightstand. She's within arm's reach at all times.
I do not keep it loaded. I have a shell tray stuck to the side of it loaded with slugs.
>LEL ENJOY BEING RAPED B-CUZ UNLOADED
There's a reason I practice combat reloads all the time. I can get a shell into the open chamber without having to look at it. I'll be fine.
>>28282504
OP why not keep your guns loaded but with no round in the chamber... like a shotgun with the tube full, so you need to cycle it? There's no way your going to pump your shotgun and finger it in your sleep unless you're an ambien god. Same thing for handguns or rifles, I think it's called 'condition 3', chamber empty, full mag.
>>28282665
big boi bait man
>>28282704
Because adding another thing to do using fine motor skills under stress is better than having fewer things to do.
There's a reason I practice flicking the safety off all the time. I can turn it off without having to look at it. I'll be fine
Keep my bulgarian 74 with one in the chamber by my bed every night.
>>28282733
Haley had a counter-point to that on Art of the Dynamic Shotgun. I don't remember it word for word, but it was something like: "if you can't train to use fine motor skills under stress, you probably shouldn't be using the gun."

>>28282777
>trips
It's good to train for that, and it's important. But why intentionally add another thing to do during stress?
Why intentionally make it more difficult, and potentially slower?
I don't understand why train to manually load under pressure, when you could train to be ready to fire immediately. To each his own and all that, but still
Glock and ar15 both with loaded mags and empty chambers stay hidden in the piles on clothing on the side of my bed.
Sig P229 kept by the computers/TV
Mossberg500 kept inside the broken dresser where I'd like to store my fucking big piles of clothing
Pic related
Mag in, round chambered and safety on.
Why would you even consider keeping a gun unloaded, esp a shotgun?
Do us all a favor and don't reproduce.
>>28282645
Slightly off topic. Why are people OK with safeties on long guns but not pistols?
>>28283709
because if i have a long gun i have time to flip that safety off most likely, pistol not so much
Model 88, loaded, I sleep with it under my blanket.
Soooonage

I sleep with a Glock in one hand, and I have 6 extra mags in the night stand. Been doing it for months. It's kinda like my teddy bear.

Yes. I keep my. 38 loaded and on my nightstand.
>>28282665
Next to my bed ,on my night stand, I have a pouch I put my edc shit into, I clip my holster onto it with the gun in it.
>>28282793
User perference I guess. Part of my reasoning is because other people are in the house. If I'm ever here alone for a week or so then I'll keep the tube loaded.
i just keep my Ruger in the mini-safe next to my nightstand, my other guns are in the wallsafe, both i can unlock in less than 30 seconds. my sleeping Area is as far away from the any door as possible; unless the home invaders are entering through my second story window then i'm perfectly fine.

This is infinitely stupid.
How does this faggot explain what happens when some melanin enriched shit skin kicks in your door at 3AM and you're in a DEEP SLEEP / COMA?? Have you ever woke up and almost fall on your face because you're not quite with the program? I guess he has flawless fine motor skills 24-7-365?
I'd say anyone with that level of intelligence (more like stupidity) shouldn't be giving other people advice about guns.
That... or get your fucking quote straight.
Mossberg 500, full tube of buckshot, empty chamber, safety off, between the bed and the nightstand.
>wake up
>reach down, swing up while pumping
>small apartment, can see the front door leaning out of bed
I think I got this.
Yup, a glawk 23 with a full mag of hollow points of unknown origin I got from a pawn shop for a decent price. Before that it was muh AKM with honady Vmax.
I don't have a single gun in my house chambered.
I don't have to deal with niggers, only the occasional hog or coyote. Sometimes a black bear, but they're the biggest pussies in the animal kingdom.
I sleep with a 1911 in .45, full mag, un-chambered and under my pillow. Loaded with Critical Defense rounds as not to penetrate the walls and slam my neighbors.
I keep my Hi Power cocked and locked in my nightstand and my Cx4 Storm and SLR-104 cocked and locked in my closet.
>>28282733
I sleep with ear protection on so it'll be one less thing I have to rely on my fine motor skills to do under stress

VP9 with TLR-1 Fully loaded with Spear Gold Dot, round chambered in my top nightstand drawer. At night I take my SLR-104 out of its safe and load a 45rd Bakelite mag with Hornady V-max round chambered safety on. It goes under my bed. Feel pretty safe, but am always ready, at least as ready as I humanily can be.
>>28282665
Mahberg 500. Mag loaded. Empty chamber.
Glock 26 on headboard shelf of bed, loaded 10+1 but holstered. Two extra 10-round mags near it, with a 17-round mag beside it, all loaded with Winchester JHPs.
AK on the wall beside my bed, loaded 30-round mag of mixed softpoints, empty chamber, safety on.
.38spl in a home-made booksafe on top of the stack of books next to my bed.
An angry calico kitten I'd throw at the attacker first to blind and disorient him.
All other guns are either in cases, hidden, or both.
91/30 loaded. Righ by the bed.
Deleted? Wtf. Mosin not good enough 4 u fegs?
AR15 with 50gr Federal varmint tip, in a safe I can open laying down in bed
I have my dad's old 3916 like pic related in my bedframe for now. Nothing really all that special, single stack 9mm. Better suited for CC to be honest.
Left my Grandad's Winchester 1897 with my Mom and little brother, which in hindsight probably wasn't the best idea, but neither of them have ever fired a handgun. Was gonna leave them his Makarov, but she didn't like it.
Only other funs are my Grandad's Mauser and .30-30 Lever gun.
Jesus I just realized I inherited all 4 of my firearms.
>>28282504
Omg bro dont you remember the golden rules of firearm safety.
>safe direction
>all guns are always loaded
>finger off trigger
>be sure of target
Its the rules bro
>>28283709
Because handguns remain in a holster with the trigger guard complety covered.
Rifles are usually slung over shoulder and its posible for clothing or a branch to get i the trigger guard and pull it

I don't live with kids in the house and have multiple loaded firearms. I like the quote from my veteran friend's felon brother, "If someone broke into your house, WRONG FUCKING HOUSE."
>>28282504
Do you not know how safeties work? Or, load the tube and leave the chamber empty.
>>28290003
3913 and 3916 are good - tier 3rd generation S&W's.

>these people who actually think you won't have 1 second between waking up and realizing there is an intruder, and encountering the intruder

I get that everyone wants to be effective and efficient during a home breakin, but holy fucking shit some of you are outright delusional or obsessive, or else you're so anal about being the "most" prepared you lose all context of reality
>>28293066
just because you dont have any situations or ordeals in your life doesnt mean others are delusional. if somebody who knows what theyre doing wants to get to you, they can do even if you sleep with a gun under your pillow. all they gotta know is where you sleep. unless you live in a mansion, your door is broken in, they run to your room, and unload on you in less than 4 seconds. not even enough time for you to process the noise that just woke you up.
this is why you need a dog as a first line of defense, to give you enough time.
this is more advice for people who screw people over and have something coming to them.
Im honestly surprised by how many of you keep a shotgun ready as opposed to a rifle.
pic related is my MCX, it sits about 10" to the right of my head
>>28293128
and this is my BFG i have hanging over my head (you can see the waist strap hanging in the rifle photo.

>>28293167
just need more salt rifles it seems. I keep my 20ga 1100 by my front door, in case coyotes try fucking my dog to death. Also have my snazzy G17 and 4 mags on my nightstand next to me.
>>28293167
Either way unless ISIS decided to target you for some reason, nobody is sticking around in either the physical or possibly the mortal realm after few blasts of either.
>>28293124
>if somebody who knows what theyre doing wants to get to you, they can do even if you sleep with a gun under your pillow
That's exactly what I'm talking about. The actual chance of someone with serious intent and skill to kill you choosing to attack you is negligible. You might as well carry a gun in case of shark attacks at that point.
The likelihood of Jamal and Tyrone budtong into your house at 4 a.m., while statistically small, is at least appreciable and being realistically prepared for such is commendable, but this tinfoil hat "Dat dere CIA is gunna brake in an sassinate me less I git mah Mossberg loaded fast enuff!" is the kind of stupid, overzealoys bullshit that makes the firearm community look backwards
>>28293184
Well having a gun loaded with an empty chamber is reasonable for home defense, I do it with my shotgun and AR but not with my pistols because I carry all day and just want to have one habit with them which is round in the chamber, the only reasonable way to carry a gun.
I sleep with my AKM in my bed with a loaded mag in it unchambered hammer down safety off. I keep a spare mag near by and have both mags for home use loaded as follows: APx2 HPx2 FMJx2 the pattern repeats until the last two rounds which are daylight tracers. Always remember the rule: Assume all targets are armored until proven otherwise.
>>28282504
I sleep with 7 loaded guns nearby.
>>28293305

>>28293294

>>28293346
I bought them accidentally in a bulk ammo buy at a store so I ended up with four boxes of them.
I keep my magazine out of my glock and both in the nightstand. I have a big fucking dog though, so I figure he'd buy me more than enough time.
For some reason, having my dog makes me even more comfortable than my gun. He's alerted me to a drunk mexibro in my yard at night, and also to raccoons.
I'll never understand dogs' 6th sense about shit moving around. He can be cold asleep, but never misses a thing. Meanwhile the cat can be going completely bonkers, and he won't move an inch. But if a plate settles in the sink, he perks up.
He's also the reason I won't use a shotgun for home defense though. Don't want to hit him. Kinda lame since a rifle would do, but I don't want to kill a neighbor... Thus my glock at my bedstand.
arent you guys afraid youll wake up in a daze one day or be sleep walking or half dreaming and accidentally shoot your gun in your sleep

I know, anon. I'm picking up 3 more guns soon, and have 3 that I don't keep loaded. would 13 be enough?
>>28293369
A rifle in 556 is good for home defence. High capacity, low penetration. If you use hollow points, you'll fuck an attacker up.
I keep a double barrel by the bed. Im too scared to shoot it hut me and my wife have mad a plan;
>Someone is breaking in
>get on my knees and take robbers cock while my wife goes outside and shoots in the air
>robber gets scared, leaves, get pelted in pellets from outer space

Mis-managed money. He should be squatting instead so he can spend that money on more guns.
Loaded SR9C next to my bed. It's my CC weapon so I might get something dedicated for home defense
>>28283709
In addition to
>>28283732
>>28290943
Because most handguns without safeties are double-action in one form or another, with heavier, longer triggers that are less likely to be accidentally fired, and many have some additional form of trigger or grip safety.
Most rifles and shotguns are essentially like single-action handguns, with light trigger pulls and no automatic safeties, so they need a manual safety just like a cocked and locked 1911 does.
Also, rifle safeties tend to be bigger and in easier to reach places, so flicking them off is less of an issue, you're not adding complexity to a holster draw as you might be with a handgun safety, and you don't have the issue of accidentally engaging a safety while racking the slide like you do with certain handguns.
