LOL! We must be related... on a thread about how "racking a pump shotgun will make the bad guy instantly lose bowel control" I posted that my technique was to confront the intruder in a cowboy hat, BVD whitey-tighties, and boots, spin cocking a Winchester 92 in each hand like the "Rifleman".
Obviously situations that involve a thief or band of thieves in the night will involve shooting in your sleep wear, which is why I've taken to sleeping in swimming trunks or athletic shorts with a drawstring. They'll support the weight of a spare mag, and most have pockets so if you have to evacuate with absolutely no notice (i.e. the house is on fire) you at least have a place to throw your wallet and car keys.
If I tried that, I wouldn’t need the Winchesters, the perp would be incapacitated laughing.
