[Blood of Tyrants]

Yep. I read a story where an old guy had bought a revolver for personal protection and kept it laying on the floor under the edge of the bed for 40 years. Then one night while some punks were breaking in he had to use it and it worked just fine.

I keep a loaded Tamale next to my easy chair. I have a loaded Taco in the closet, and a super-loaded burrito in places unheard of.

My dad kept one under his recliner chair, when he got up you couldn't see the gun, but easy to reach if needed...we didn't get him out of Detroit until 1982. Had a small caliber taped under the kitchen table....being as X cop, had them hid all over the house in places no one would look for them....

His garage had to have a key to open the door from the outside or inside....it go broken into once via a small window....then the bad guys couldn't get out and had to leave via the same window without much....they wanted his T Bird.....
