Safe Bedside Table Great For Peace Of Mind And Occasional Overnight Beatings
By Andrew Liszewski
While an alarm system will let you know if someone has broken into your home it won’t do much to stop a determined intruder once they’re inside. So instead of sleeping with a gun under the pillow try this Safe Bedside Table instead. When not in use it looks like a normal bedside table with modern design stylings but in the middle of the night if you think there might be an intruder the table turns into a club and shield giving you somewhat of a fighting chance.
Designed by James McAdam the Safe Bedside Table was created in response to a report that 50% of people in London were worried about security and kept some sort of self-defense close by while they slept. And while the table isn’t available for sale anyone with a lathe, bandsaw and basic carpentry skills could probably just build their own.

Posted 7:36 pm on August 23rd, 2007This would do great unless your intruder was packin’ heat…;o) Maybe you could add a nice blowgun attachment too! That way you could nail him BEFORE he nailed you…:o) The whacking could then commence with a tad more peace of mind.

Posted 1:17 am on September 1st, 2007Yeah, but you know your glass of water with your dentures in it and your digital alarm clock and your tub of anal lube will go flying if you ever have to use it.
Posted 3:04 pm on September 1st, 2007when I blogged this on August 11th I didn’t think much of it, but now our post http://www.katize.com/2007/08/11/sleep-tight-with-the-safe-bedside-table/ has had over 120.000 views and just got its 114th comment. Controversial discussions between Americans and Brits.. I still like the table

Posted 2:34 pm on November 20th, 2007Why not sleep with a firearm under your pillow? I do. Doesn’t bother me a bit. I’m not the princess and the pea.
Liberty is refreshing.
