No.

No because it’s in a small safe.  It won’t fit nicely, and it’s an extra step.

Of course.  Holster and weapon go into the night stand when I take them off.  I'm no operator though.  The gun I carry daily is the same one I reach for if I need it at night.

Yes, always.  It's in my carry holster, on top of the night stand, with a short lanyard attached to the belt clip and the night stand.

Just as fast as it would be lying there, and I'm not going to have a ND trying to hit my snooze button at 0430.

Yes, otherwise my cat will manage to shoot me.

No. It’s protected by a pistol safe and has a suppressor attached.

Yes, my g19 wants its trigger covered while I fumble with turning off the alarms.

I used to. All of my loaded handguns were holstered.

These days any handgun out of the safe is loaded and I rarely keep them holstered. No kids and everyone who comes to my house knows guns are probably loaded.

Nope.  Just laying on the nightstand by my flashlight, water glass, and watch. No reason or need to holster it

I have a low bed frame and mattress, my "nightstand" handgun is under my side of the bed on a book..no holster. No alarms or anything else under there, except for a Tac-14 w/ TL-R4.

No, but its an AR pistol.

Yes.  It's my CCW and I take off the holster and put in the nightstand.

Rare exceptions I have a pistol w/ suppressor attached - no holster for that

Holstered!

With a Sig SDR suppressor, a 20 round mag that hangs below the grip and a big assed Streamlight on the rail?

It doesn't fit in a gun rug either.

Nope. It's in a drawer. Why would I keep it in a holster? I'm not wearing it.

Yes, because it is the same gun I just took off my belt, or out of my pocket.

I’d never give you a hard time about that. If I had kids it would be in a safe loaded but locked up. I’d never want to have to try and live with myself if a kid got shot because a loaded gun of mine was loose. Good on you.

That said it’s just me and the wife so the 1911 lies in the nightstand next to a spare mag and a big ass maglite for seeing things in the dark and having one hell of a nice less than lethal option.

Because if I get woken up in the middle of the night and need to get it on, then I don't want the extra step of getting the gun out of the holster.

No, I want the shock and awe of a Glock AD to wake us all up and show the bad guy I watch John Lovell home defense vids and to get out of my death trap before the cavalry arrives.

I do.  For those who think it slows them down, try timing yourself.  If you're already having to reach a long distance or open a drawer I can almost guarantee a regular Kydex holster needing to be pulled off won't slow you down at all.

But I have another pistol in a holster if needed, and the bathroom rifle has a sling.

Yes, because it's a Glock, I'm a heavy sleeper and people roused out a deep sleep are prone to doing impulsive things. It's in a IT'S YOUR FUNERAL(tm) Serpa holster, so I have to concentrate hard enough to push one button to access.

Honestly though, five feet away in the closet is a purpose built HD 12 gauge. Short of the BG standing over the bed, that's where I'm going anyway.

Same. It just lays there and when I wake up and go to work, it goes in the safe.
Maryland sucks.. I wish we had constitutional carry.

absolutely

the last thing I want to do is squeeze off a round picking up an unholstered handgun when I am woken up by intruder noise in the dark as my finger tries to pick up the gun inside the trigger guard

Yes since it’s a) A Glock and b) my daily carry.

IMO, pistols should be holstered or locked in the safe.

My nightstand gun is a suppressed Colt 6720. It doesn't need a holster.

Yup. My carry gun becomes my nightstand gun. It's a G19 with one in the pipe. It stays holstered.

It is very easy to grab at stuff when it's dark, and you are not fully awake.  A chambered handgun, with no manual safety can be dangerous just lying about.

Tie a short paracord lanyard to the screw on the inside of the drawer knob, and then clip that to your holster.  There is no extra step when you need the gun (unless you have some type of Level XXX retention holster).  Just grab the gun like you normally would.  All that you gain is safety.

Yes, I've heard of many glocks just murdering entire families because they were left alone and unholstered. They're like the pit bulls of the handgun world.

Hyperbole much?  Tell me that you've never knocked over a glass of water, or hit the wrong button on your TV remote at 3:00 am fast hands.
