    A few of the books I am currently reading, The Bible, my glasses, my digital media player with earbuds, night lamp, and sometimes I leave the part of the Wall Street Journal that I have not read yet.

    A Kentucky long rifle, a Sherman tank, Claymore mines and a Bowie knife. A hand gun just isn't American enough.

    The sad truth is that most of the illegal guns that people are supposedly protecting themselves from with the guns in their nightstands were stolen from another person who thought keeping a gun in a nightstand was somehow handy and clever. It's so stereotypical that many burglaries are now targeted at those guns and people don't even know they were stolen until they happen to open the gun drawer for some other reason days or weeks later. In case you didn't notice, most break ins happen when you aren't home.

    Do us all a favor and lock up your guns in a safer place. You can still bring them out to cuddle for comfort when you go to bed. And no, your silly little trigger lock is not going to prevent a theft.

    So why exactly are your weapons in your nightstand then?

    I am more amazed by the number of people who just announced to the MFP population exactly where they keep their guns. I have one, but no night stand...
    If you get past my 90 pounds rottie you are welcome to look...and you better pray you are right!:devil:

    I'm sure people are smart enough to put their nightstand gun in their lockbox/hidden location or holster for carry.

    maybe.

    haha ditto on the "Oh, America" part of that! My thoughts exactly (no offense meant by that, especially to those of you who mentioned the guns that you own!)


    >guns and knives
    Oh, America!

    I keep books I'm currently reading, my iPad, hairbrush, makeup... Generally it's full of crap though. :P

    I'd probably get kicked off the boards if I listed specifically what is in my nightstand.

    Though i do have to wonder, with all the guns in people's nightstand its starting to become clear how kids are getting them so easily.

    I, too, am shocked about all the guns in nightstands, though I do understand the need to protect one's family. Not in, but NEXT to my nightstand is a baseball bat and my dog that would tear an intruder to shreds...and my kid isn't likely to hurt herself with either of those two things!

    Magnum condoms are wishful thinking for those who watch too much porn

    I'm sorry to hear that's your experience. The box originally had 12 in it.
