It's about time someone said that!!! Thank you!
The idea of taking a gun into your dark home, LOOKING for the bad guy is just flat out stupid. You wait for him to come to YOU!! Use the bed as "leverage" if you will. Place your arms on it cuz by gosh by golly, the average person WILL be shaking...
You one smart Grammy.

Welcome.
I had to think about this a lot when my wife’s kids were little. We lived in a large two story house with the master suite off of the living room. The kids were upstairs in 3 bedrooms. The stairs were on the other side of the living room from the master by the front door. The other entrance was through sliders in the kitchen to the pool. It wasn’t a bad neighborhood and we had good locks and a huge Doberman but still if someone broke in I had to go find him. When things went bump in the night I grabbed a Glock G22, Maglite, and the Doberman and went to check it out. Luckily it was never a bad guy.
