Good to hear it worked, and for the record my father teached me good but do you really trust your kids that much? just that you never did anything as a kid wont mean they wont either. And for the record my father still to day dont know anything.

Now we are not allowed to keep our guns anywere then in a safe IF we are not at home, so if i did keep it by the bed i would carry it with me as soon as i got out of bed. But then we are only allowed to carry it on person if we were on the way to or from a range, so if i wanted to keep a handgun next to my bed it would be in a drawer in my closet, this would hypothatical mean i needed 20-30sek to wake up and walk 4 meters open the drawer and be ready.

My two dogs will esally give me 30sek even if the doors are kept unlocked.

Hanguns or rifles are the same in my eyes, and sadly in my goverments also.
