Hidden Gun Stash Ideas

I saw a list over at It's Tactical and loved the idea.

I love lists. I loves hidden compartments. I love guns. So I will follow their lead and make me some lists!

There is a vast array of commercial solutions you can buy to hide your guns:
  • Hidden safes under your mattress, in the walls
  • Behind working clocks
  • Small safes under desks, 
  • Paintings and framed photos
  • Safes that look like hot water heaters
  • Furniture with built in compartments
  • Fake gas cans
Lots a great Do It Yourself (DIY) Stashes:
  • Hollowed out books
  • Modified furniture
  • Hinged paintings or mirrors
  • Hidden rooms
  • Converted items like computer cases, freezers, grandfather clocks, scanners, 
  • Velcro'd holsters in furniture, fake plants, old boots, behind places
  • Inside fake outlets, switches and vents
  • Behind kick plates in furniture or kitchen or bathroom cabinets
  • Fake stair risers
  • Fake electrical boxes outside
 --What else would you add?

Above the door in the coat closet by the front door.

I keep a stainless steel SP101 in a tofu box on the door of my fridge.

NO ONE has ever touched that box!

A "stash can"- a tapered body trash can with a board that covers the top, and a lot of trash hot glued to the top. Grab a piece of trash, and the whole top comes off, revealing storage below.

It works.

Inside a bag of frozen mixed vegetables. In the ash drop from a fireplace (use a plastic bag to keep it clean) that you don't clean out too often. For less accessible hiding, behind paneling in a finished basement. In an emergency, have a pry bar ready. (This is for a MSR in states that are banning/regulating them.) There are others unique to my particular house, and it helps if you are a pack rat. No one wants to go through a ton of stored memorabilia in a crawl space, eh?

Although the CAPTCHA for this starts off with "surprised". Omen?

Inside the duct work. It will confound metal detectors!

All good ones, and there are a few others, but Anon's point is a good one, need metal near to defend against metal detectors.
