Good nightstand gun

[OK Corgi Rancher]

Can't have just one. I thought most gun owners had all there guns within reach of the nightstand, in the same room that is.

Yep... I have...umm...nightstands...all over the house.

I teach my grandkids the same as you but I am unwilling to chance that curiosity will not over ride training at their age. They are all 6 and under.

Yep. My late father showed my brother and I where the guns were with the caveat if we touch them, he will give us a beating like no other. Didn’t stop my brother from shooting me two different times.

I can say that I have never pissed anyone off bad enough to shoot me . What were you doing that caused that twice? And did you stop after the second time or just hide the guns better?

The first time (I was in the sixth grade), we were playing around and I tried to poke him with a pitch fork. He shot me through my glasses. Literally dodged a bullet. Second time (around two years later ), he was screwing around with my dad’s nickel plated, break top, 32 cal Iver Johnson revolver. The bullet hit the belt loop of my Levi’s and then skimmed the heavy leather belt I was wearing leaving a bloody welt. My dad never found out about the second time.

My late brother was exceptionally bright with “personality disorders”. There are stories far worse than the two I mentioned.

My step son was 8 and I taught him all he needed to know about guns. I let him shoot my 30-30 at a melon. I stood behind him to catch him. The melon exploaded and he then knew what a gun will do to a person.

I use my CCW as my bedside gun. But like many have said there are many more within a few feet and a quick code. I don’t have kids so there is no worry in that sense.
