I don't subscribe to the shotgun theory, myself. Nor do I the nightstand handgun. I don't like the idea of having to reach under the bed, or to a table that I have to open a drawer to access. Too much work for something you may need immediately! Nope, I'm a handgun under each side of the pillow kind of guy. That way, no matter which side I'm sleeping on, I'm ready to rock!
That said, a shotty under the bed added to these isn't a bad idea. Many follow the "pistols are for getting to the long guns" philosophy.
Personally I want maneuverability, and handguns can't be beat in that regard. I want something good for 15 feet and 1 inch gut busting!
