I believe it was more like: some members were concerned that the goberment can monitor boards like Pelican, and if we used "spoon" insteaad of "gun" or "firearm" we would fly under the radar.
Funny thing is - I've adopted the use of 'spoon' at my work and with my friends. This way, if someone who is against firearms overhears my conversation, they will just think I have some weird fascination with silverware...
Anyway - back to the OP -- when I'm home, I take my spoon out of my push-button safe and place it in this which is on my side of the bed (Sorry for the huge pic from Amazon...):

Full magazine in the spoon, chamber empty, safety off. I hear a suspicious noise, it's roll out of bed, grab spoon, rack and take up defensive spot where I can still see my bedroom door. (behind dresser, in bathroom, or behind bed). If my phone is near, I call 911 (state my address twice, and let them know I have an intruder in my house, I have a gun, and I described what I am wearing, and leave the phone open for them to record what transpires next). Next I yell "Who are you? Get out of my house! I have a gun! The police are coming!" If there is no acknowledgement from the intruder, and if my bedroom doorknob turns and the door opens, the trigger on my spoon is squeezed.
