Re: Does anyone on here sleep in bed with a pistol strapped on?

When I was a kid, one of my father's friends always kept a revolver under his pillow at night until eventually he got to thrashing around in his sleep and set it off. Luckily, he only got a nick in his ear, 1/2 inch further in and he would have been dead.

Part of pilot training involves being able at all times to be aware of where you can put it down if you have to. Nice straight and wide roads are usually excellent runways if the traffic allows.
