hey. where do you hide your home defense weapon?
 

ok, that burglary thread has me thinking... of all the stuff i own, leicas, hasselblads..rolexes, the only thing that would freak me out to have stolen would be my sigsauer. maybe my O/U shotguns.

it would break my heart to have my pistol be a part of a robbery, or worse, a shooting. i want it at the ready, but i guess it needs to be hidden. or locked up in one of those fingerbutton locked boxes?

any secret stashes? maybe PM me, if you want it to stay secret?

i have zero kids. zero kids visits. so kid safety isnt much of a concern.

i keep an ASP by the front door.

I have several safes around the house. Some are in obvious locations, some are not.

No one is going to get "everything".

it's a secret

all weapons are locked in a safe. I don't believe in "nightstand" weapons, but I also have a 12 year old in the house...and 2 cats. The cats are trouble.

Pistols are in Safes, except for the ones that are to be close at hand or carried. I need a locking rifle rack. Shotgun is in the usual place, for night time quick grabbing.

+1 But I think you'd be surprised how quick I can get to any one of them.

Holster screwed to the back of my nightstand, is one.

Kids are bit older and have been around guns all their lives, so:

- .45 on the my side of the bed which faces the bedroom door. I attached the plastic tac holster that holds the pistol to the sideboard.

- 20 gauge pistol grip shotgun under the bed, mixture of rounds in the hopper.

- Two noisy dogs downstairs. They are unarmed:cool:

- Browning Hi-Power downstairs, within three steps of where I spend the majority of my time.

- On the weekends I carry a .22 semi-auto rifle in the truck when I'm working around the farm. The thing is remarkably accurate and I feel it is enough of a deterrent for day time nuisances.

Remember that I live about a two putt from no-where so trusting in the better angels of man's nature is not an option. We have had veryfew problems down here because everyone has a gun, hunts and supports self-defense.

Key is that the collective folks here are smart: none of us are Rambos...but none of us want to be victims.

I keep mine in my pants!!

Oh, wait, I think you're talking about something different.

No kids in the house, so in the lock box under the bed.
When I'm out of town the wife has the .357 magnum within reaching distance

don't really have any ready-access home defense weapons, considering they are all locked in safes
closest is Glock and snubnose, loaded but in touchpad safe by bedside table
if I were more concerned about home defense, would mount a fingerprint safe to the underside of the bedframe

Don't you mean "snow tires"? ;)

If I told you, it wouldn't be a secret:D
The best way is to build a hiding in plain site, there are ways to build into furniture, walls ect

You forgot *weird houseguest sleeping in RV at halfway point in mile-long driveway with Glock .40 and German Shepard*. :)

Sssshh! I don't want anyone to know you're gone:cool:

All part of the plan...

No, then it's not handy. Not to imply that snow tires aren't handy, you know, depending on circumstances...

A half mile is as close as you'd let them get? ;)

sometimes the obvious is the least expected.

A weapon locked in a safe is not a home defense weapon!

so far ,no problems. (that we know of)
