It is more comforting to sleep with a 44 mag. under the pillow.
I get all that.
I’m just saying it’s UNusual, that’s all.
Besides.....I’d rather NOT be camping next to the family which allows their kids to sleep with loaded hand guns.....eh...???
A .44 mag. is probably OK if you’re awake- we had 2 people killed in AK last year in their tent and they had handguns with them- apparently didn’t get to use them-
Preferred would be a shotgun with 3” Brennicke(sp?) slugs- albeit a bit unwieldly in a tent-
