Still slower than rolling over and grabbing the Ruger I keep on the bedside table next bed where I also keep my cell phone, a flashlight and a couple of spare magazines.

Fine by me. That's about the same as carrying it since you have the weapon "well regulated."(caveats apply)

If, however, you leave your firearms unsecured when you are not home, you are part of the problem. Burglars love people who leave loaded firearms bedside.

More than 1 million guns were stolen from private citizens from 2017 to 2021....And while local laws vary, it also isn't a requirement in many states to report a stolen gun, either ' so the number of gun thefts could be much higher....."It shows that we really have a serious problem with guns that are not being stored safely in order to prevent this,"

Stolen guns can be diverted to the illegal gun market, where they are used to fuel crime across the country.
