My nightly bedside weapon is a Beretta 92 with the safety decocker. I know a lot of people think it's silly to have a safety on that gun, but I want to be awake enough to think about it twice if I wake up in the middle of the night.

I get night terrors and sleep walk, so I'd likely end up dead of I had a weapon by my bedside.

You can get a paintball gun or air soft and experiment!

Maybe it would help with the sleep terrors, maybe it would result in a rainbow colored cat.

There are some good things about safeties -- service pistols had them for decades. There didn't used to be nylon holsters, after all.

Another thing that people do is set up a holster behind the headboard or somewhere else where they know to get at it.

I have a friend who has a gun safe under his nightstand—not intended for quick use, but still easy to access.
