Mike Piccione, the current editor of Guns& Patriots had this to say in a recent email:


“My bedside combo is a Taurus PT 101 in .40 S & W and a Pelican LAPD light or a SureFire C2. When it comes to bedside firepower I like a .40 or .357 or more. As my colleague W. Thomas Smith Jr. puts it, ‘My bedside wep is a FNP .45, and I can fight my way from the bed to my closet where I can grab my 870 pump loaded with buckshot.’”

I love a unique turn of phrase, and “bedside firepower” is a new favorite. I am also certain, that it is the title of a gay porn feature, which loads the whole “…fight my way from the bed to my closet where I can grab my 870 pump…” with an all new meaning. Come one. Sure, it’s Freud 101, but you know it’s kinda funny.
