Retired with no kids so a CZ Phantom 18+1 with a laser on the nightstand. There is also a Mossberg 12 gauge 10 feet away in a closet.

I have a Gen 5 G17 with a TLR-7 in the top drawer of my nightstand. Five feet away is a Sig 556xi pistol with a brace. My CCW when not on my person is in my home office. No young children visiting the house.

Glock 34 w/Surefire x300 in a Gun Vault under bed in built-in drawer.

Lately added my Beretta 1301 on closet shelf after recent personal experience leading me to believe second gun upstairs is necessary.

Glock G30 in hand-safe @ nightstand, Mossberg 500 Combat hung on nail behind HeadBoard.

AR15 pistol hanging on a peg behind the door. Gets put in the safe if the grand kids are coming over.

Ya see the main problem with the FAS1 above is I would want my wife to have the combination, which in itself isn’t a problem. The problem arises when she sees that I have drilled into the furniture to mount it like that..... Then her having access to arms becomes a problem. I like my knees, we have a long history together. I am not ready to part ways with them.

Display case next to the bed contains a 12 gauge, suppressed .300BO rifle and a Glock 21.

Additional magazines and 00 shot shells.

When my wife and I leave the house or the grandchildren come over, the weapons are moved to the safe.

There are options you know. Gotta keep the wife happy!

Suppressed g17 on the bedside table, and suppressed/sbr 300 blackout next to the end table. When I leave for the day they just go in the safe. If I'm coming and going all day, then just my carry gun is out. No kids, so the safe is open when I'm home. The dogs are more interested in raiding the fridge than the gun safe (yes they have actually opened my fridge and freezer).

Gun magnet screwed to the back of the night stand.

Shotgun under bed on my side and a pistol and flashlight on my nightstand next to me. My wife has her pistol under the bed on her side. We do not have kids so I have no worries about having them locked up.

In a holster on my nightstand.

1911 .45 with a light on it, kept in a key/combination lockbox mounted on the bed frame. When I go to be it comes out of the box and onto the headboard in easy reach. When I feel moved to get a shotgun out of the safe (18" Rem 870) it leans in the corner next to the bed.

That's how my dad used to do it. And he wasn't even Italian.

With no kids around to worry about I just leave my EDC and a Surefire flashlight on the bed-height shelf above adjacent side drawers (serves like a nightstand even though it isn't) of our platform bed, one of those 80s vintage Scandinavian designs with the mongo vertical headboard/cabinets/drawer wall unit that the bed tucks into. Even has a pair of under-the-platform drawers, convenient for keeping a Shockwave, AR pistol or MPX loitering about. Those are secured in a nearby safe when the house is left unattended, which isn't often these days.

Nightstand drawer.

870 next to the bed. A Glock to back it up in a lock box.

When the kids are around the 870 has a chamber lock in it until I go to bed.

In the passenger seat (or on the nightstand when the passenger seat is occupied )
