My "bedside" gun is the one I choose for home defense.
A Mossberg 12 ga. ATP8. It has power to kill at any in home shooting distance and will not go through the outside walls of two homes. That way I don't have to worry about the neighbors when I have to use it. Loaded with 1 3/8 oz #9 at 1300 fps.
