Since there were 99 posts, I waited and waited to see if anyone else would post to bust 100, but finally had to add my post of (relatively) weak arsenal of bedside equipment/ home defense array:

1. 82-pound Akita. She has a very advanced sense of discretion when it comes to knowing when/when not to bark. Loudly and fiercely when a stranger, not at all if she knows them OR if I'm in the vicinity yet she sees I'm not disturbed.

2. Bars on all the doors and windows (the house I just moved into was formerly occupied by a little old lady who died, and I'm too lazy to remove the bars; actually I kind of like them but I just tell people I haven't got a round to taking them down yet).

3. Bedside: Just my carry pistol (Glock .30 in .400CB conversion) and an SKS, a flashlight, pepper spray, and mobile phone - fire extinguisher is around the corner. Some of you guys I can't tell if you're kidding about how many guns are stashed around the house - unbelievable. The amazing part to me is how you convinced your wives/SOs to let you have that many guns around. My last girlfriend thought I was a nut case for having two or three guns in the bedroom.

FAL, we posted at the same time, but you beat me to the submit button!
