No gun. It would be too much of a temptation to use it on myself after waking up from my never ending nightmares. I also have children in the house so obviously that's a big risk. I used to sleep with a screwdriver under my pillow but removed that because I was hurting myself during sleep.
 
Honestly i do not think that as a sufferer of ptsd I should have access to a firearm. In my country of residence because if the suicide attempts I made I am not allowed a gun licence anymore. This seems right. I have triggers. I am not necessarily opposed to gun ownership; But I think I am no longer an appropriate person to own one. ( I also wouldn’t keep one under my pillow)
 
If I had a gun right now I'd feel a hell of lot safer. (nurse under threat from gangster with a grudge)
