How many of you knife enthusiasts have a knife on you clipped to your jammies or on any other part of you when you are sleeping at night, just in case? I know we have discussed having a firearm nearby but what about a knife?
Sleeping while armed?

Um, no.
And incidentally, I don't really need to know what "other part of you" your knives are clipped to.

That goes for me too!I don't really need to know what "other part of you" your knives are clipped to.
To answer you question, no, I don't keep one on me when I sleep.
Um, no.

Did for a while, got tough to sleep, settle for arm's reach now.
That makes the most sense....

lmao :lfao:
Okay, let me explain!
I have a family member who I recently found out sleeps with a knife velcroed to his leg at night and I wondered if anyone else was protected at night as well.
What is the B & E(Breaking and Entry) rate in the city where he lives? Sounds like a touch of paranoia..
Sounds like a Al Bundy "Peg Defence" to me...
No, I have a routine that I practice regularly. Takes only a couple of seconds time even in the middle of the night to access any of my tools. They are all locked up but I practice enough that it is instinctive (go figure) and I just follow this process. As for anything happening in those few seconds, well I used to be in the Police/Security field and have set up multimillion dollar alarm systems on a few occasions. So my house is pretty well wired. I think I can spare two or three seconds for the obvious safety factor.
Oh and I have kids so everything has to be locked and under control at all times. :angel: They are my little angels after all!
It's easier for me as I have no children..The Mossburg or Sig are aways at hand and ready to rumble...
That does make a differance. However, with constant training I can access my tools in total darkness and half asleep in two to three seconds. I have also hardwired my house and battery alarmed it so that I will have
those two to three seconds. No one moves anywhere in the house at night without my knowing it. (drives my wife crazy)

Heh, that is funny and probably somewhat true!
Not sure of the B&E stats of where he lives, I know he has lived in some pretty wild neighbourhoods at times.
Excellent..An often overlooked way to train...

Oh, so now you want to know whether we use protection? Isn't that just a little "personal?" Geez Lisa...:lfao:lmao :lfao:

Y'know, when I first read the title of this one, I was thinking you meant, did anyone sleep while they had a weapon - not did anyone sleep with a weapon near to hand... :lfao:

I can't win...:shrug:
What ever "other methods" you are using to "arm" yourself is completely your business...please, keep it in the nightstand where it belongs and not out in the open. The rest of us don't really need to know! :lfao:

Actually not on my person but under and to the side of my pillow (a Kabar),right next to the S&W M65.
