But is that really the best place for a home defense firearm?
You will need something that is secure, but will give you instant access to your firearm.
In my case, Im working here with a Springfield Armory XD-E double-action/single-action pistol with manual safety.
I am keeping it with a loaded chamber, hammer down and on safe.
A handy light will give you the ability to illuminate and identify potential threats in your home.
I also verify I have my cell phone nearby and handy to alert authorities should something happen.
When It Counts
Say that you hear a sound in the middle of the night.
You simply draw your gun and thats the end of it, right?
It will likely never be that simple.
More likely, you will have family members spread throughout the house.
Conclusion
Unfortunately, it is nigh impossible to predict what you might face during a home invasion.
