'The Backup' is here to ensure that your 2nd Amendment rights do not go without proper support. I mean, what better way to keep your [home safe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-gun-zones-map-tool) than with a [bedside holster](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taco-bellt) placed neatly beside your mattress?

I don't care what side of the argument you come down on when it comes to guns, but not having your gun properly stowed away is just crazy. But hey, it would be nice to fire off a few shots from the [lying position](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/essential-bed), right? Right.
