I believe, and correct me if I err, that the point about having a pistol on the nightstand and having a small child bump into said nightstand was that the weapon might discharge by either falling off the nightstand or, having the toddler grab the weapon by mistake (or just because it's daddy's/mommy's) thus firing the weapon. There are all too many deaths every year due to stupid weapon owners who leave their fire arms where small hands can find them.
This may have been the point you mis-addressed.
