Where to start? The website promoting this bedside gun mount is the most entertaining thing I have read all day. The product itself is a $40 rack which slides under the mattress, keeping a shotgun within easy reach in case of intruders. The site, however, should be left to speak for itself:

"We the American People retain the right to Keep and Bear Arms"

And With the BackUp Our Arms are Accesible!

And:

THE BACK UP CAN GIVE THE HOMEOWNER ACCCESS TO THEIR SHOTGUN IN TWO SECONDS. THEY CAN DO THIS WHILE IN THE LYING POSITION ON THE BED.

From the FAQ:

__Why would I use back up with a shotgun rather than a handgun.

__There are several reasons why a shotgun is better than a handgun.

A. For one it is safer for people in an adjoining room. You miss you shot with a handgun, the bullet goes though the wall. Since a shotgun using ?shot? which stop any intruder, but not penetrate completely through a wall.

B. A shotgun is visible and intimidating. You may be able to scare off an intruder without firing a shot.

C. A shot gun has a spread pattern. A handgun uses a single bullet. You are less like to miss your target with a shotgun when you are under the stress of a home intruder.

The company recommends you buy two, one for each side of the bed. Not to be used in homes with children. Go to the site now and check out the testimonials ("Shootout in Garage") and the promo video, ("It's the smartest money you'll spend in your life"). Baffling.
