[Cold Heat]

I keep a loaded 12ga winchester pump(with plug removed)and a S&W 357mag W/hollowpoint ammo. I use BB shot in the 12. I keep the pistol under lock and key due to kids, but the 12 stays where I can get my hands on it, along with a Maglite. I feel secure...

Get rid of the Maglite and get a Surefire 6z combatlight. About 8" long x !.5" dia. two 3volt lithium batteries and twice as bright as a 3 D cell Maglite. Also with a little practice it can be held in hte weak hand while holding a pistol, turns on with slight pressure on the endcap.
