assuming that firearms are standard/basic home defence items, what else do you have "standing by"?

i read a thread where somebody mentioned they had a sword ready to go, i got a chuckle then, but today dusting my night stand i picked up my camping hatchet

and thought "why is this here"?

i dont have any reasons why not, so i left it

.

i also have an issued asp, that i have no place else for, so it sits next to the alarm clock.
