What's that ONE gun you'll b keeping in the nightstand tonight?

[JAKIII]

Keeping a firearm OUT on the nightstand is risky for some, due to deep sleep habits, sleepwalking and such. Ever woken up suddenly and wondered where the fuck you are?

Most individuals who are unexpectedly awoken out of REM sleep are basically in a psychological drunken stupor, (i.e., in no condition to reason, let alone manipulate a firearm).

Mrs EM woke me up one night because she heard a noise.
OK, that's cool.
What WASN'T cool was that she was handing me a Glock as I was coming to my senses.
Woke me RIGHT the fuck up!

I told her to please never do that again. LOL

How does anyone fit a loaded rifle inside a nightstand?

Mine is just sitting on the floor and leaning.

Anyone targeting my house is likely armed and wearing body armor. Not cops, the local cops know me, I know them. Gangbangers. If criminals expect to invade my house and find guns, I hope to not disappoint them.

If the cops show up in the middle of the night, it's.not likely they will be local guys.
I don't know this to be fact, but I doubt our Township police have the motivations or tools to do a proper no knock.

How did we go from nightstand guns, to child-maiming centerfire rifles?

...the guy with the red underneath his name brought it up?

True, but I have to believe that they would coordinate with the local PD, who have my fingerprints on file from multiple ATF forms, have called me to ask me to check surveillance footage of the alley behind my house, who have arrested and successfully prosecuted multiple perps based on my calls.

I think the phrase "he's probably not the drug dealer that your warrant based on an anonymous tip claims" would come up in that conversation.

Honestly, if the local cops call and say "we're out front, could you step outside?", I would.

The anti-gun moles are never as smart as they think they are. They infiltrate about as well as short bus kids at a Mensa meeting.

I've seen at least one video where the homeowner steps outside and then was accused of using threatening body language or otherwise becoming angry or agitated at the cops questioning him as a pretext to portray the homeowner in a bad light in their report. I would say if you have a friendly relationship with these local cops then fine, but generally speaking if someone has limited or no interaction with police in their lives, it's probably better for them to stay behind their door in the relative safety of their home sanctuary and refuse to talk to them if the cops do not have a warrant. This is the age we live in unfortunately. Just my .02 cents.
