My *rifles* stay in the gun cabinet. (not the best weapon for home protection.
Might I suggest to the good Senator, a nice Glock or a defender shotgun. under said bed.
There’s a gun within reach no matter what part of my house I’m in.
1) armrest compartment of my recliner.
2) desk drawer in office.
3) headboard compartment in bedroom. Closet holds the shotguns and rifles.
4) If I’m caught in the bathroom the perps really gonna catch $hit. LOL!
Paranoid? No, just prepared.
