I've always worried about that kind of stuff. My cuddle buddy when sleeping alone in my car at the trailhead has always been a .40

Seems like it happened one time, and they were caught.

You can go back to worrying about being eaten by a mountain lion. Or marmot. Or porcupine. Or Moose.

Or you can sleep on your gun and hope you don't shoot yourself when the porky shows up and is chewing on the wiring harness under your car.

I thought you were talking about setting off your gun with morning wood when I first read this.

Most of the peeps that think they can shoot are far more likely to shoot themselves or friends, than what they are aiming at.

Regardless of which appendage they pull the trigger with.
