My 1911, a flashlight and knife are always on the bedside table when I retire for the evening. I would use these until I could cover the 10 feet to the open safe where the LMT is loaded with the T1 on.

I chose pistol in the pole because that is what I use right now. I would prefer to have an AR as my home defense weapon but my children are too young to have a rifle sitting in the corner. In a couple years, the pistol with light attached will be replaced with an AR with light attached.

CZ Rami .40 or Ruger Alaskan .454, sometimes both are handiest between where I sit and where the safe is.

So many choices :-)
Some good choices so far! I keep a .40 CZ75B right at the bedside with Safariland's RLS tactical light. The light is great because it uses AAA batteries instead of the expensive cr123's or whatever they're called. A 12 ga. and AR15 are pretty close as well, but everytime I've heard a "bump" in the night I naturally grab the pistol. My wife on the other hand has an UZI carbine.

G19 until I get to:
Mossberg 500 isn't far, but I would go with my AR.

I keep a S&W 6906 9mm under the pillow so that is first. A paratrooper SKS with collapsible stock, tach light, and 20 round mag is real close though.

One pistol on the night stand. Two on the dresser. A big ass Akita on the floor in the hallway and some "long guns" not to far away in the safe.
The Akita lets me know if someone is near.
The pistols help me fight to the Safe.

I keep my BCM carbine within reach at night loaded with 30rds of 75gr TAP. I figure that combined with a RDS gives me the best shot at coming out on top should I ever have to use it to defend against an attacker, especially at night.

Can't really vote as I use both a shotgun and a handgun.
