Nightstand Meme

James at Hell in a Handbasket answers the new meme going round that asks, "What's on Your nightstand?" And passes it on to me.

Well, I've had a variety over the years. Given where I live, I don't really worry about it a lot and usually I'll just lay my carry gun down on the night table. Sometimes just my TomCat, sometimes my S&W .38 Airweight. Lately though, I've really come to like the compact EAA Witness .45 I picked up a while back. It's very reliable and with the polymer grip it seems to absorb recoil very well. Anyway, here it is from just a few minutes ago, on the nightstand:

I have a plethora of Remington 230 GR hollowpoints right now because they're, er, economical, and I've been practicing with them at the range. I've got a lot of Winchester 230 jacketed roundnose too. Wal-Mart sells it cheap. Normally in a carry or night table .45 I'd probably have it loaded with 185 GR Hydra-Shok.

Again, with my location, and the only access through one door and window, both wired, I don't wake up at every sound. Still, I like having a gun next to me that "throws big rocks" as one friend puts it.

Okay, time to pass this meme on to... I'll throw it to:

Zendo Deb at TFS Magnum (okay, I'll bet I know her answer...)

and

Countertop Chronicles.

Actually, even though WE ALL KNOW that he doesn't actually own any firearms..., but if he DID, what would be on this guy's nightstand?

Update 4 hours later: Acidman has already picked-up the gauntlet.

Update: Countertop has his response up.

Geoffrey at Dog Snot Diaries has answered, too.
