I opened the bottom of a kleenex box, took some of the kleenex out, taped back inside enough of the bottom of the kleenex box to fit my gun under it, and put the kleenex back in on the top. It's safer to your keep your gun hidden where you fall asleep. Just sayin..

My G19 sits on the table with a full clip next to it- not actually loaded while I sleep. My room is upstairs in a creaky ass old house with a dog downstairs so I'd have time to wake up fully before I would need to use it. And I don't leave it at home when I'm not here- not in this neighborhood interesting to see how many gun owners there are in this thread...

Sounds like we need a poll and a thread. I would but I don't know how to do the poll thingies.

Oh. And I don't have a bedside table so I don't have anything on said non-existing bedside table.

My bedside table...

• lamp (shade needs dusting)
• kindle and charger
• work phone (also acts as my alarm clock) and charger
• personal cell phone and charger
• vanilla bean goats milk hand lotion
• candle in fluted glass holder

In the drawer...

• my "everyday" jewelry....watch, bracelet and ring
• back up medications....lots of bottles
• reminder slip for blood test (2 months overdue....yea I know)
• a few cards received from friends

I was looking at mine the other day and I'll be damned, but it made me feel like an old lady.

Kleenex
Vitamins/caltrate, multi, joint relief (wow)
Jewelry
Dog Treats (sad, but true)
Crochet hook and latest project
Water bottle
TV remote
Slippers (dog steals them if I leave them down and above dog treats are bribes to get them back if I do)
a few movies I picked up at the library
Eye glasses
Crossword puzzle book

LOL you made me smile and I'm just waking up so that's a lot!

[Ginger]

I have a table on each side of the bed. Each one has one of my mom's bridge napkins from the sixties (corny floral pattern, yellow and red), and a little Ikea lamp with a paper shade ($9.99!).

In addition, one side has:

Chartreuse candle on white ceramic base
Tiny digital alarm clock (not a radio, real simple)
Box of kleenex in wicker box cover
Little ceramic dish I got in Greece, with a lid
Pencil holder made out of a smooth stone

And the other side has:

Turquoise candle on same white ceramic base
Books
Cell phone
Another little dish from Greece
Multi-colored, striped coaster


This thread is funny, so intimate and yet in my case, not so much

[Sachita]

I'd really like to know what's in those drawers! lol Mine are fun!


ON my nightstands -

The side I sleep on- lamp, bottle of lotion, remote, always water, candle, very large chunk of amethyst with a quartz cut channel stone I've had for many many years.

The otherside - lamp, kindle, few bottles of essential oils and a warm mist humidifier.

The 5 people on this short thread who mentioned they have guns next to their bed, are all of you serious?

I guess since the whole "having the gun at the ready", is so far outside of my experience, I sometimes wonder if people are just pulling our legs and I am the only one who doesn't know this.

No judgement, it just really throws me when I read things like this.

So, was anybody kidding (maybe you, Clay?)?

Kind of scary huh?

I keep a shot gun inside my closet but not next to bed. My dogs would first raise hell and then I would.

When Ruff and I moved into our apartment it was all good. One day I saw what was going in around me and we got our little Chihuahua less than a month after moving in. She is one hell of an alarm when someone knocks and I'm thankful we got her

Isn't there a GLBT gun club? I swear I read that somewhere.
