12 Gauge Shotgun Bed Holster for Home Defense, a.k.a. “The Back Up”

November 27th, 2007 · 9 Comments

*tossing and turning in bed*
“Honey . . . . ”
“Honey!”
*waking*
“Huh? What?”
“Get up, I heard something downstairs.”

At this point, if you’re like most people reading this blog, you’re looking for your piece, AND, if you’re like many people choosing a piece for home defense, you’re reaching for your 12 gauge pump action shotgun for super duper knock down power (or “powah” as we’d say in Maine).

But where is that shotgun? Stored in your gun safe? Bedroom closet?
tsk tsk
*shaking head*

As you fumble in the darkness, 5 intruders are downstairs lifting your new flat panel television, your x-box 360 and your Beanie Baby collection. What YOU need - is “The Back Up”. I learned of this insane invention while surfing this dude’s blog. Watch, learn, and install. The Back Up is your next best friend.

Pretty cool, but I’d keep an AR15 in mine.

Quite nice, I’d be interested in one if it’d fit my bed and I didn’t already keep two shotguns behind the dresser next to my bed, an AR15 near my desk, a Saiga 308 by the closet, a Marlin 1895GS behind my Saiga, a Lusa 94A2 near my ammo storage, a 1911A1 in the front panel of my computer, and a Savage 10FP, too. I’d be leary of using the rifles against someone that’s already in the house, though, as the rounds wouldn’t likely stay inside the house. I can’t imagine my neighbors would be too happy about getting my bullets in their house.

Ruger Speed Six .357 magnum, hanging in a holster on the bed post. No worries.

That seems like a nice accessory for a non existent problem. Put the gun under the bed, or behind the bedroom door. If someone casually opens the bedroom it is doubtful they will check behind the door.

I also liked the under the bed rig on a swivel from Training Day. Also needless but cool. I keep a 1911 in the nightstand next to my surefire.

For those who like many guns all over the house just remember that sword cuts both ways. The 1911 in the computer seems like a great idea. Openly visible or easily found guns are now in the hands of whoever broke in. I really do not want to arm those folks. That is why I keep one gun readily available. I know nobody stumbled into any of mine because the one that is not locked up is in my hand. That is a very personal decision and to each their own
