How do you store your guns?
 
Most everything is in a safe somewhere, but I do have three "display" guns left out:

A 1920's Remington Shotgun.

It has a badly pitted barrel and would explode if someone tried to shoot it. It has a trigger lock on it, which doesn't really matter because it is a 20 gauge and I don't keep any of that in the house.

A $65 Single-Shot Shotgun.

It has a trigger lock on it as well. If someone tried to steal it...oh well.

A Reproduction Musket.

If a robber brought bullets, powder, and percussion caps with them, I'd even let them load it before shooting them. No trigger lock on this one.

Poorly.

Some in a locked steel cabinet with the bolt or pin removed and stored in a safe elsewhere. The rest are in a fire proof safe. So the kids or thief would need to crack the safe after breaking into the locked steel case to be able to fire anything.

Is this true or are you trying to lure me into confessing my slovenly ways?

Small of my back, one in my work desk, one in my key cabinet, one in my night table, one behind my bed and many more in the safe.

I knew a retired LEO that did just that. Dusty loaded revolvers all over his house in plan sight. I knew of about 4 or 5 of them between his study, shed and living room. Just sitting on an end table, railing or work bench. I'd move one to make some room on the table and he'd casually say, 'its loaded, they all are, useless when empty'

Thrown in a pile on the living room floor.

wrapped in tissue paper (bright pink gift paper) in a wall safe.

+1

That's where they can do the most good. The ones that are literally sitting out in the open are in a sock to keep the dust out.

I do not like locking them up...make me feel stupid, sort of like the media has convinced everyone they will jump up and shoot
Makes me feel like I have no control over them.........
That kids will come through the door and automatically have to play Russian Rulet
I do not want to fall in"Their Play Doh Soup"
It is not "my" fault " bad parenting to NO parenting now exist

In my pants, so I can pull it out quickly when entering a club in NY to show it off.


What? Its not like anything bad can happen, such as shooting myself.

austin552 07-29-2009 03:25 PM

On the bed, where else?
