I have a 380 cal. automatic pistol and a 38 cal. revolver, plus a small hunting knife 5" blade, very very sharp under my pillows plus 4 assorted rifles and shot guns hanging on the wall loaded and ready to go, plus a 120lb. rottie sleeping at the foot of the bed. the reason for the small calibers is, I am responsible for where the shots end up. I am not in any danger from anything larger than a man {that I know of} least ways thats my reasoning
