Reply Anonymous 9/30/07 Reply Ken, Long Island 10/29/07 My pants are also next to the bed but under the pillow is a very irresposible place for a firearm. There are safer and more accesible methods of storing it while in bed. Reply Eric, Atlanta 6/26/08 Real good advice. You never know what will happen next!

Reply Mike, Norwalk 12/18/09 Reply J Carlton, Calgary 12/18/09 An 8" PVC pipe capped (sealed) at both ends and buried off your property somewhere will hold some very handy items. I know some ex soldiers and policemen who do this. Reply jim k, austin 12/18/09 Reply cal, lewisville, tx 12/18/09 Like walk softly, but carry a big stick. Reply J Carlton, Calgary 12/18/09 cal...make sure the stick is loaded! ;-) Reply Waffler, Smith 12/20/09 My wife always saves her gasoline receipts because she says she can go back in case they sell her bad gas. She considers that a bit of insurance. She has never had bad gas in 30 years. Some say you should always turn your boots upside down and shake them out in the morning to be sure that there are no snakes in them. Some people say they have done this all of there lives but have never had a snake in their boot. But one cannot be to careful, ya know! The arguments of the gun rabid guys is much the same , I think. I personally own six hadnd guns, a shot guy, 30/30 and a 22. If saving your gas receipts, shaking out your boots and having some guns lying around makes you feel good go for it, but heaven sakes don't fool yourself with self delusion.
