In this day and age, probably not a bad idea to sleep with your bedroom door locked and a loaded gun within reach. I do. Gives me a few extra seconds to go center mass, clean up, and get back to sleep. I got early golf in the morning.

I went to college at Colorado State U. back in the late 80s, early 90s.

Totally safe.

My four roommates and I lived in a giant party house right across the street from campus. We never locked the door and often we'd wake up to whatever wasted traveler found his or her way through the front door and stumbled on to the couch to pass out.

Made some new friends.

Different times, I suppose.

Me too plus it’s supposed to help in case of a fire in other parts of the house

My dog will have taken care of all but the most determined intruder(s) long before they get to the bedroom door...but if my dog is harmed in the process, I'll just be that much more pissed off by the time they reach the bedroom.

For those who haven't seen "Personal Protection: Shooting While in Bed" by Paul Harrell, one of the best YouTube videos ever:
