Has it's applications for those with no kids around, although I would trim down that version of the telephone poll long one they used.

I don't know about the gun rack. I lean mine up against the wall like a normal person, just as fast and a lot cheaper, but check out the "Suspect Wins" vid from the same site. Guy destroys evidence while being frisked by Barney Fife and Gomer Pyle. Absolute classic! ;D

BM,

I saw that too! I think it would work with an AR as well.

I have my 500 ATP-8 mounted just like that on my side of the bed.

Can I ask why? Since I am "sleeping single in double bed" and no kids, I keep the Glock under the second pillow. No muss, no fuss and a whole lot quicker to get to than any long gun. I kow this might make me sound paranoid "pistol under the pillow", but seriously, given that half of the bed is currently empty and having it in the nightstand drawer is about as useful as having it in the glove box if you are accosted on the street.  If someone breaks in,the gun is inches away. That beats opening a drawer to get it (o

Why it's on my side and not the wife's side? Why a shotgun? Can you be more specific FQ13?

Why a rack not the wall and why the shotgun if you're keeping it in said rack for quick deployment from concealment? If you are, why a not a handgun? This isn't a critique, just an honest questiion. I like to hear other peoples reasoning on stuff like this.

If you are in bed the shotgun will be quick to access in that postition (providing it doesn't get tangled in anything).

Given the choice between a handgun and shotgun for home defense, I think I'll take the shotgun, hands down.

A setup like that doesn't look very difficult to duplicate for a lot less $$$$$.

Its the tangling that I see as the problem, plus trying to deploy one handed if someone comes into the bedroom. It just seems like a pistol or even a shotgun resting tangle free against the wall would be speedier.
