"At home" is your home. Use your pistol to fight your way to your 12 gauge. :fire

Well, if the kids are away I wear two Glocks, each in a Smartcarry rig - one for the front and one for the back - and a smile!
Just kidding.
Shorts = Glock 30 in the Minotaur (yes, it's that comfy)
Robe=LCP
Big guns in reach at all times - please search forum for "shower gun" :tiphat:
I'm saving up for an AK47 pistol though, gonna put a reddot scope and a sling on that puppy and chill on the couch!!!

At home relaxing or sleeping in those WalMart elastic waisted cotton sleeping shorts with a drawstring, I wear a Diamondback DB380 with +P ammo in a Bianchi soft suede model 6 IWB holster, and my Glocks, KelTecs and Tauruses are nearby. (Sometimes relaxing, I might replace the DB380 with a KelTec PF9 or Taurus PT-709 Slim in the same type model 6 holster, but a size larger.... but I only sleep wearing the DB380; it's more comfortable.) When the Microtech Archangel MCP 9mm hits the market, I may try one of those ... only 7 ounces. Plenty light enough not to pull the elastic down ...Hopefully not too lumpy to sleep on too.

Yep, I read an account of a lady who awoke to see a burglar standing over her with her own gun from her nightstand.
I may have another weapon nearby, but I sleep with one IWB, figuring I'll wake up if anyone fiddles around with my shorts while I'm asleep..... at least I'd hope so.
DB380 is small, super thin, super flat and light weight.

Point take RPB. I wouldn't want to wake up to the muzzle of my own gun either.

I sleep with my kimber in the nightstand with an extra mag. Hopefully this will be enough for me to fight my way to the gun safe in my closet where my rem model 870 is ready to go.

Around the house I usually open carry or carry in my usual concealment method.

I have a dog who barks at strangers. That's the best "early warning" system you can have...I guarantee that a bad guy couldn't get into my house and retrieve one of my handguns without my dog making a big ruckus that would wake me and/or my wife.
