What's in your nightstand?

It's a secret. When you find out, you're fixing to be dead......

Tums, a Nagant pistol and personal lube.

I hope that the use of the personal lube isn't what upsets the stomach and requires the tums.

my meds (more then i ever thought i'd be taking) a flashlight but next to it in the corner is a remy 30 06 semi.

WOW

I feel so under protected I have a 10 shot 22 semi in the garage because of the grand kids in the house now and then but i like to think I'm in a not to bad a neighborhood, I've only lost one truck in 19 years and I'm for ever leaving my garage door open. [S

Pretty safe here. I have had a tree stand stolen and a stolen car left on the property though.

Nah, not much need for any o that stuff.

A 150 pound Rottweiler and a 9mm!

In reality, I have guns all over the house, most have a full magazine. Not that I have any thought of needing one for protection against any imagined intruder. But the one go-to weapon is a Rossi version of the old pump winchester 22 rifle with a hammer. No scope. It sets at the ready in case I wake up to a skunk in the yard or have a rogue tom cat beating up the resident cats. I found that my .17 HMR with a scope was pretty worthless for that.

rossi assault type 12ga. was cut up before I got it

12 ga. in the corner by the bed with buckshot!

Don't shoot the skunks, especialy in warm weather. It takes forever to get rid of the smell. This spoken from experience.

Not much crime around these parts but I still sleep with a 12 gauge & Glock 9mm. [ddd

Tell me about it!!! I popped a polecat (a skunk that looks like a weasel) with my 12ga & that was the stinkiest thing ever. I threw it over the back fense & I could smell it for a couple months.

Bad carriers of rabies and don't go well with the dogs. who all got sprayed a couple weeks ago.
I had to get rabies shots when I was 15 from a barn cat who had tangled with a rabid skunk. Skunks must now die if they come poking around.

I've got a short barreled double barrel browning side by side with one side loaded with bird shot, the other #4 Buck. Mostly I shoot skunks and rattlesnakes, but sometimes we get coyotes here chasing the cats...ready either way.

I have a noisy dog that barks at wind

if it happens to move anything around or near the house....Drives me nuts.. can't tell you how many times I got up at 3 or 4am flashlight in one hand the 40 in the other and found ab so lutely... nuttin... that the dog was barking at... he barks if a skunk fires one off too... doesn't like the smell and he wants to go out and find it...my service weapon / take home / is what I have close by... I keep the others under lock and key....

can't beat a scatter gun. My only weapon for all the years I lived in Alaska was a short barreled Mossberg. I wish I had another one now. I've been trying to find a 97 Winchester trench gun I can afford.

Depends on how close that critter is. Up close is one thing, if his out there a ways its a whole nuther deal.

Not in the nightstand but close by!
