The Perfect Bedside Handgun and Setup!

February 11, 2023 M.D. Creekmore

We all worry about the unexpected bump in the night… where we are awakened by a strange sound or bump in the night, and you need to be ready for the worst case scenario. Be ready to defend your family, yourself, and your home.

This is my ideal handgun and setup. Please note that these videos were filmed a couple of years ago and was originally uploaded to YouTube, however, because of YouTube’s firearms policy nonsense I removed it and re-posting it here on my own website.

      I currently keep a 12 ga. shot gun with a nice blend of 00 buck and #4. I have the shells alternated. The shotgun is on a rack in a utility closet in the bed room. Takes simple hop and skip to get to it. On the outside of the bed room in the family room is the bed for my 110 pound hound. I also keep my .40 S&W next to the bed.

    I’m on board with your setup. Mines the model 17 Glock with 32 rd mag. and 2 extra 17 rd mags. Also a Mossberg 930 8rd semi-auto loaded with 00 BUCK, altered with BB SHOT 2/8rd quick strips. 2 hand held 1500 lumen rechargeable flashlights. I don’t like lights on weapons.

    80 lb indoor watchdog. I will defend my castle! Repeatedly! Old Hoosier veteran, and I still defend the Constitution

    I’m just going to grab a beer and pull up a lawn chair.
    Too old and messed up to be clamoring around in the aftermath trying to survive.
    I’d rather be at ground zero then dealing with a slow miserable failure trying to avoid toxicity.
    Nothing would be the same for generation getting back to a society will be a rough one.
    Keep up the good work buddy!!
