Now, this is not meant to sway anyone, but just to illustrate that there are risks in keeping a gun for home defense. Not saying not to. Just saying be careful.

I don't know how close my friend was to pulling the trigger, and he may be well trained. Not really sure. But: anyone, no matter how well trained, could have made a terrible mistake in a situation like that. It's dark, you're abruptly awakened, and adrenaline is flowing.

I'm not sure if a gun right by your bed is a great idea.
I don't know about anyone else here, but I think it's pretty dumb to keep a loaded firearm somewhere like that. If someone is going to possess firearms and for self protection or whatever, they need to be smart about them.

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:


  1. There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
  2. The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
