What protection do you keep in the bedroom?

[BLOOD SWEAT STEEL]

870 and a USP 45.

[Theodore]

I never thought it possible, but you've seen Red Dawn waaaaaay too many times.

Twice? Haha... just fun things to shoot... nothin more, nothin less. I love the FAL, but $.80 per round adds up quick! AK is fun as well, AR makes a lovely sproing sound when you shoot it, and I've since added an ACOG to it. I can keep an entire magazine in a ~6" circle at 100 yards firing ~ 1 or 2 rounds a second.

I still always end up shooting the .22 more than anything. I love that thing and it's almost 75 years old!

[ICEHOCEY77]

A tennis racket
A hockey stick
a 2 inch wide 2 ft pipe.
2 ski poles.

That AR can't be cheap to shoot, right? And that's an expensive gun, from the ones I've seen at the gun shop. I'm sure they're fun, though.

[StoneCold]

Kel-Tec .380

[StoneCold]

What is that gun above the AR?

[Steven S. Dallas]

So Theodore is a UFC fighter with a closet full of automatic weapons.

I'm considering putting you on my ignore list just so I don't accidentally piss you off.

That was a joke.

[hutash]

Who here, besides shmoesmith, actually needs protection, aside from the Trojans? I have never kept anything, nor is it likely. I suppose the first step is to lock the French doors, but even that is never done. We have always had dogs, and as sweet as our labs and chessie have been, I wouldn't want to piss them off.

Sweet, another Second Amendment thread!

[yodaottis]

Big knife w/in arms reach next to a flashlight.

[BurnHard]

2 Japanese Katanas (and the skills to use them)
various assortment of Khali sticks & Jo's
7" blade Cold Steel knife

and, probably the least effective of all for home-protection

Remington 700 5R MilSpec in .308 w/ MilDot scope & match ammo in stock pouch.

Needs protection?
Or
Feels like they need protection?

And how would you define not "needing" protection?

Regardless, I own guns for hunting. One of them lives in the bedroom not b/c I'm afraid but rather b/c if (IF) I were to ever need it then I'd just as soon it be right handy to get at.

[TNKen]

Nagging wife, HK UPSc 9mm, Keltec .32, and sometimes an HK53, Benelli M1 Super 90, or HK MP5 PDW

[365wp]

ADT and two dogs. The terrier mix probably wouldn't scare anybody, but the lab can sound a lot bigger than she is.

This the one place I've lived where I've thought about getting mace or a gun (Dorchester/Roxbury line in Boston). But, apart from a couple car breakins, we haven't really had any problems.

[Stone-Free]

Sig Sauer P226 and S&W 908

And a lab with the 6th sense. She barks at anything at night she doesnt know or like.

Need ?

or

Fortunately haven't needed yet?

[Tuckerman]

I keep a loaded 9mm under the mattress. Also our St. Barnard will alert me as to when it's time to reach for it.

Word. I live alone (no kids) in a very, very safe neighborhood where theft is unheard of. That said, if some cracky did break in and I couldn't do shit because the guns I already own were in another room, I'd feel pretty stupid. Especially if they used one against me. Thus, the guns are safest in my bedroom.

[telepow]

He's not friendly whatsoever

It looks like a stick but its actually the femur of the last guy that tried to rob me

[ArmadaBC]

2 Japanese Katanas (and the skills to use them)

I only have one but I do have a very very friendly cat that would want to play with the intruder

[bklyn]

Two fists.
All I ever needed.

It's an eye opener to see just how dangerous it is in the country/suburbs.

[rideit]

It's an eye opener to see just how paranoid people are in the country/suburbs.

fixed....

[TeleHoar]

A 2 pound maul.
You never know when a crack-crazed dying doe will wander into your bedroom.

[ski_pdx]

Pump action shotgun, three in the tube, dry fired and ready to cycle.

If I cycle the pump action through and the intruder does not shit himself and run, then I will be glad to have a loaded gun handy.

[vin]

Sig Sauer P226 and S&W 908

And a lab with the 6th sense. She barks at anything at night she doesnt know or like.

And drunk guys trying to innocently pass out in your front yard.

browning a-500 with two in the magazine.
