How often do you reach for your nightstand gun?

I would just find it peculiar if my wife had a male friend trying to break in our house in the middle of the night. Probably just me.
Naw, not just you brother. I get it. The lowlife was actually out with a married woman who dropped him off at my house that night. I had a long talk with her too.
 
What things/sounds/events make you reach for your night guns?
Only once in my life. I was in high school and my parents had left my younger brother and I at home alone so they could go to some company party one night. We were in our bedrooms at the back of the house when I heard a really loud thud from the kitchen. I heard it, but nothing followed so I paid it no more attention. Then it happened again....and then again. And the next time I heard it, glass was breaking along with it. I assumed someone had broken in the kitchen window. As I was going to my younger brother's room to collect him, I grabbed Dad's 1911 from his bedside table and put both of us in his bathroom and called 911, dragging the phone cord under the door before locking us in. The whole time I'm hearing broken glass crunch underfoot, things falling off shelves. I was convinced someone was ransacking the kitchen and then, just like someone flipped a switch, while I was on the phone with 911, it stopped.

I don't remember how long it took, but it felt like an eternity before the blue and red lights showed up. After a few minutes, I heard one of them call out "Police Department!" and I responded that I was back in the bathroom. They told us to wait and that they'd come to us. A few more minutes go by and I start hearing laughing. One of the cops shouts back to us, "Boys, I think it's clear, you can come out." I left the 1911 in the bathroom and we made our way into the kitchen to see two cops in the kitchen with one of the windows indeed broken. A few cups and mugs were also in the floor, broken. And lying dead, in the middle of the kitchen, right in front of the fridge was a rather large bluejay.

the best we could figure, with the light on in the kitchen and it being dark outside, the bird must have thought it was attacking another bird, seeing it's reflection in the window and flown into with enough force to break it. It must have then freaked out being inside, flown and flopped around until it did an header into the fridge, snapping its neck.

I asked the cops to leave a note for my parents because I knew they would never believe me. They helped us tape a garbage back over the window and then left. The only thing my Dad was mad about was the fact that I didn't wipe down his pistol before I but it back. "Boy, you know you got that damn dragon's blood. You'd rust every gun I own if I didn't follow behind you and wipe 'em off."
 
Once in my life. Wife woke me up. Said she heard something. Like GeauxLSU GeauxLSU , I was pissed. I said, “You wanted ADT, I bought you ADT. You wanted these ****ing dogs. I bought you the ****ing dogs. Do not EVER wake me up again.” Then the alarm went off. Lol. I grabbed my nightstand gun and for some reason went straight to the alarm to disarm. That’s when I saw a guy snatching the hell out of my sliding glass door. There was a broomstick in the bottom rail but it looked like it was about to come out of the tracks altogether. So I drew down on the prick. I finally had enough and told myself, if he snatches it one more time, I’m gonna take him. He snatched it. Hard. I popped the safety off and my wife said, “WAIT! Make sure it’s not Tyler’s drunk ass!” (Some dumbass friend of hers.). Upon further inspection it was. So I unloaded, let him in, pistol whipped him in the back of the neck as hard as I could and dropped him in the kitchen floor. He was still there the next morning when I left for work. We had a long talk that afternoon about how he almost died.

I've got so many questions, but I'm scared to ask.
