No offense. But if you sleep with a gun under your pillow it does not sound like you are at peace. Worrying about stuff that is out of your control isn't good for your health or your mind. IMO.

Motion detectors and a high end alarm system is a good investment. I keep a .40 on the bedstand and i have a 12 ga in two upstairs rooms where I can take position. We can keep the smart burgler out with a good system but there is no way to keep your hopped up methhead out with lights and alarms.
Best safety is thinking it through, what will you tell 911, describe where you are and you are armed, and do what is necessary to protect your family. Hope none of us ever has to.

Thanks for your insight. However, you didn't read the post very carefully. I was stationed in Berlin during the Cold War. I slept with a gun under my pillow due to my job at the time. After I retired that part of my existence went the way of the Iron Curtain. The gun I have near my bed now, is kept in a drawer NEXT to my bed. Not under the pillow. Additionally, I do not worry about stuff that is "out" of my control. A gun - being handy, in case of an emergency, takes the "worry" out of my mind. I am prepared for any eventuality that "may" or many not happen. I, unfortunately, had to take human life during Viet Nam. I have regretted it every day since then - that being said however, SHOULD the need ever arise - I wouldn't hesitate to do so again. I would have a problem, however, if something were to happen (God forbid) and I didn't have to means to "fight back". |

We (My Wife and I) live in a 3 story house - main floor, upstairs and a finished basement. Guns are kept on all three floors. Always loaded (Not chambered or in battery) but ready none the less. |

Most people (who weren't in the military during the Cold War) don't realize that there many "tense" moments back then. They rarely ever got reported back in the states. Espionage was at the highest it has ever been and people like me were kept EXTREMELY busy.... I (sort of) laugh about it now - but My Brother had joined the Marines in 1961 and a year later was the Cuban Missile Crisis. My Father (A Colonel) and my Brother used to laugh about the idea that we were actually about 60 seconds away from a Nuclear confrontation at that point - luckily, cool heads prevailed. |

Sounds like a crazy time to be living in Europe. My dad managed to get himself kidnapped by Baader-Meinhof/Red Army Faction when he was about 15. |

I hope when and if someone does break into my home I have a feeling of imminent danger and fear for my life so it's easier to cope with the act of killing someone.

I always keep a loaded gun by my bed I’m case of a break in so I can shoot myself rather than talk to a stranger.

You are more evolved than me I guess. I just hope that somebody that crawls through my window at 2am has the good and decent decentsy not to bleed all over everything. That would piss off the wife
