Why have one gun? During the day my carry gun fits what I wear and usually is a 45 from Georgetown, Texas (STI). In the evening I could have anything from a Serbu shorty 12 gauge to an MP5 on the nightstand; I use the STI tactical with a TLR-2 laser light most every night.
At night I want a pistol so I can move and not have something that can be easily be taken away from me. A light on the pistol only has me reaching for one item if I need to do so. I used to leave a suppressor on the pistol but have since decided the grab handle for someone else is not an adequate reason to do so. No suppressor, just a small package that I can use to hold my ground while on the cell phone or move about the house. Anything larger could be an issue.
