[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2879900, member: 5412"] Depends if you have kids or not. With kids, it must be secured so they can't wander in and get control of it. Lots of options out there on the internet to do that. If no kids, they sell a device that fits between the box springs and mattress that puts the shotgun close to hand and likely pointed towards the door if you bed is oriented that way. I'm not a fan of putting it by the front door. Most apartment doors are easily breached, and if that happens you can't get to it. Your typically not going to be standing by your front door either. I carry a pistol in the house all the time, with others in rooms where we spend most of our time, and we don't live in a high crime area. One on your person is the best. Shotguns are another issue. I'd keep it in a place I could retreat to while the door was being breached to buy some time. That's just my opinion. Others may have theirs. [/QUOTE]
