But… but …. what happens when Santa comes?

Oh these people are gonna get coal for Christmas. Well.. maybe … Then again this level of paranoia means Santa won’t survive long enough to put it in their stocking. Here’s a filing for the paranoid-beyond-all-rationality bin. You can purchase a product called “The Back-Up”. Here’s a tidbit off their website:
The Back-Up, a racking system for any legal size shotgun, keeps the firearm fixed securely to the side of the owner’s bed facilitating easy access for protection against home invasion….The truth is, with The Back-Up shotgun racking system, homeowners are able to access their firearms in just a few seconds – even while in bed. Fitting easily between the mattress and box springs, The Back-Up cannot be felt while sleeping and can remain concealed by bedding.
Just what I want for Christmas, a rack for my shotgun so it’s always handy… just perfect for shooting my foot off in the middle of the night. Or worse, the cat or dog… I wonder how many spouses are maimed because some trigger happy goofball mistook the wife/husband going to the bathroom for a burglar. I don’t know about you, but if I wake up in the middle of the night, I’m not qualified to find my way to the bathroom let alone wield a loaded weapon. I can just smell disaster with this Christmas present.
One of the big selling points for The Back-Up is the fact you can use your shotgun because it is sooo much better at hitting something than an itty bitty handgun. After all with a handgun you have to make a pretense of aiming – a shotgun can spread carnage over such a larger area.
Hmmm it’s corrosion resistant… just how much rain do you get in the average bedroom?
