I have my every day carry 9mm within arms reach.....plus a dedicated flash light. I shoot this gun the most so I am familiar with it's operation and switching mags or clearing stoppages. Also in the bedroom I have my ready to go long gun in a small gun locker that is key locked so it is available. The key is close by and stays there so I always know where it is.
20 gauge 870 with 5 shells, all with 1 oz of 6's. Just remember, or if you didn't know, putting a light on a handgun is NOT a good idea. If you ever you use the light to see something, and it happens to be a person, you've just committed a felony by pointing a gun at someone, and WILL go to jail. Take a USCCA class and find out things you never knew.
