When I go to bed, my Kimber Ultra CDP goes into a foam lined "daytimer" that i converted. This goes under the edge of my bed. The streamlight is always on the night stand in it's charger. We have no children at home, so that's not a concern.
There are a couple of things posted above that I'd like to comment on, one is about leaving the lights on in the kitchen, to me this is a disadvantage, you already know the layout of your home, a BG does not, why give away that advantage. Most likely if all the lights are off there is still enough light to see a person that has invaded your home, you will still need to hit them with the flash light for postive ID but by that time you will have them covered anyway. The second point is, I do think that it's a bad idea to have any weapon in plain sight while you are asleep. 1st because it might get grabed before you are awake, and 2nd it's just too easy to grab it yourself before you are fully ready to use it. I think you should have to do something to get the weapon, like opening a drawer, reaching under the bead, etc to give you time to become fully awake so no mistakes are made.
