The 'Safe Bedside Table' has a removable leg that acts as a club and a top that doubles as a shield for self-defence. This is for people who are willing to take on an intruder, providing an extra sense of security whilst in bed.

Pretty funny, but I guess if it works then use it. What are you using?
A guy I know has been using his Angel sword kata to practice cutting drills in his front yard. He said he has not had any security problems after that. :o
12 gauge with #7 birdshot. Easier to patch the holes than with double ought buck. ;D
Oh and I forgot to mention the 2 dogs. LMAO
Valiss that is freaking awesome.
Our choice is a glock .45 with a round in the chamber on the night stand.
Ironically we do practice with our quarter staffs on the lawn between the buildings.
I'm going to have to get one of those night stands now.
Abbe and Denali, my Akita and Malamute, and a mop. The mop is to clean up after...
Not a single thing.
A life-size cut out of Captain Kirk looking out my window.
Oh..and a bad arse German Shepherd.
I have many firearms and know how to use each of them quite well.
We have a dog as well as a wide array of baseball bats and guns within arms length to choose from.
Anyone coming into our townhome will have to enter the "Stairwell of Death" to reach us, which happens to be filled with my array of swords and daggers.
In my bedroom I keep the razor-sharp katana and Phoenix dagger and a pair of .45 Colt revolvers.
Oh yeah, we have "ding-dong" alarms on all doors and windows and 'Maximillian' a Jack Russell Terroroist.
9mm 45sig tatical shotgun. Ohh those are my wifes.
I have a choice of 32 swords and 3 axes.
I love to anwser my door to sales calls while cleaning my double bladed battle axe.
Makes for a very short conversation.
Does two cats count? One thinks he's a dog...... ::) ;D

I too have alot of firearms at home as well, but the one I have the most handy is my Glock 35 with a Tac lite/LAM combination, titanium striker and guide rod and tritium night sights. In addition I also have two dogs who are great sentries.
.45...Colt .45 with hollow points.
(and a .38, a .32, 2-.22's, calvary saber, mace, knives, and don't get me started on the rifles.)
It helps when you dad was a gunsmith.
Quoteand 'Maximillian' a Jack Russell Terrororist.
hehe
love the name.
I don't count our dog because she is pretty much useless for home protection.
My dog, Beau, who tries to kill anything and anyone approaching the house in any manner whatsoever if he doesn't know you. And don't even think about coming close if you're wearing a chipmunk suit.
Ninjas, cleverly disguised as garden gnomes.
A matching set of Pygmy Giraffes and... A NEW Oven Mitt
The Armory. LOL.
But actually the only things under the bed are a baseball bat embedded with a steel rod and my .357 magnum loaded with .125 JHP.
My two German Shepherds and my big cast iron frying pan ... ah, and a hunting knife sharpened to perfection.
Two watchdogs who alert me to someone somewhere they're not supposed to be. One goes directly to the source of the problem, giving me time to aim my 7 shot 357 six shooter and the other goes to the phone with the 911 button ready to press it upon command.
My dog Brumus, who has a very loud bark and my cat TJ, who hisses at anyone who comes near the house!
Lets see now...
- a security alarm system that is on all the windows and doors in the house.
- a motion detector system
- 4 dogs..all pretty good size
- 2 horses that let you know when something is outside
- a couple of geese that make noise anytime someone walks up the driveway
- my very sharp pirate sword
- a baseball bat
--a cast iron skillet
hmm..am i missing anything....lol ! And to think i live out in the country, but i have lots of woods behind me.

It also helps when you used to live in East Alton, IL (check a box of Winchester ammo sometime).
A life-size cut out of Chuck Norris...
If I told you, I'd have to kill you... ;D
Among other things, swords, longbows, firearms, cats with a 'tude, the ever popular a la "Laverine and Shirley" wrought iron skillets and depending on what kind of day I've had...ME with a 'tude....
There's nothing more frightening to an intruder than to see two naked chunky people with a wakizashi, a battle axe with a mace top, and a pirate cutlass. We make sure that if we have to go inspect something, we're nude and angry LOL.

I'd think if anybody was silly enough to ignore the old halloween postings that I did years back on the first two doors into the house ("Turn back now!" and "It's already to late....") with glow in the dark paint and the assorted halloween decorations kept around the house year round that they would understand I am a sick individual.
If they chose to continue with their folly I would attack them with nothing but my armor and my axe. Because as Blue said nothing is quite as intimidating as somebody who is angry and nude...unless that person is well armored and well armed ;D
Big hostile Chow/Akita watchdog....well the miniature dachshunds are the NOISE and he is the MUSCLE.
And a shotgun.
How about a mess of beans and an aim n' flame?
The typical. Assortment of swords, a couple axes, daggers and knives, skillets, spears, rifle, .22 deringer, and

Thinking about it, there is not a room in the house without some kind of weapon. All are at least 6 feet off the ground, or locked up for kid safety, but they are pretty much everywhere.
Spells, potions, snakes and spiders. Dragons, moat monsters and I have my wee claymore by my bed! And I play opera music really loud! LOL.
Big Dog and Little Dog (who thinks she's a big dog) are the first line of warning and defense. You don't want to mess with Little Dog -- she was descended from wolfs (well, okay ... little bitty ones).
Can't count on the cats -- they'd sell us out in an instant.
Second line are a pistol-grip 12 with alternating 00 and 4 buck, third line are some Smith & Wesson's cached in easy reach. If it ever got to fourth line, we'd have to go to the gun safe.
When you need help in seconds, the police are minutes away.
NRA Life Member sticker in the window of the door and back window of truck.
Attack ferrets. Two of 'em.
Oh, and countless swords, knives, and semi-automatic weapons. And that's only if they make it past the kitchen before I get them with my Slap Chop... ;D
Not the slap chop! That's cruel and unusual punishment, I promise to behave ;D
I just use my NunChucks...(http://www.srhconline.org/images/1nunchuck.jpg)
The two mutts as early warning system.
Glock 17 with multiple loaded clips and a night sight. If the invaders give me time, have about 500 rounds of hollow points to make my point.
Anyone left alive get staked out for the fireants.

LOL "Slap Chop"
I have my 'lil pooch and a few weapons of "medium to light" destruction. Nothing says, "Get the hell out!" like a pump action shotgun.
