Storage!

Are you short on storage for your firearms? This might be a good solution for some folks. I recommend adding a simple lock if it doesn't have one already to keep the kids out.

Storage Solutions

Back when I lived in a small apartment I was always in search of good storage solutions.

One of these in the back of my closet would have fit the bill very nice.

Walking it in and out in this would also not freak out the elderly democrat former hippie that lives in 3C. Though guitar cases also worked well for transport. (but only if you have a concealed carry permit!)

Make sure you have a strong clothes rod. Not those thin white shelf things made of wire and hope.

You you actually make a home project out of this. Go to Salvation Army and get the right size garment bag. Sew in some Velcro and start adding gear.

Plus the right garment bag will already have lots of pockets and compartments.

--Just don't run it through the scanner at the airport. You might wake the TSA guy.

Handy Storage

Think about this situation:

Your gun safe, like most gun safes, weighs so much that the basement was your only option.

You decide that you want to spread the firepower out, some in the safe, some in the bed room, some in the living room, some in the bathroom.

I like hidden compartment options.

I saw this image initially on Pinterest.com.

It turns out this is not a handy guy at work. This is an item available from TacticalWalls  for $375 including shipping! It comes in several finishes. Nice stuff!

They have several options and sizes.

Hidden Storage

A friendly reader sent me a photo of a cool gun storage idea.

This got me thinking that it might be a good idea to have some guns stashed about in handy, but secure places.

There would be several good reasons to do this:

1) They are more easily at hand in case of an emergency.

2) Burglars would have a greater challenge. Plus they could activate a secondary security system.

3) I love hidden rooms and compartments!

Using the simple idea as depicted, creating a simple drawer could be done in many locations. It's height need only be two inches to contain most firearms. This kind of compartment could be integrated into furniture, counter cabinets, bars, shelves and even walls with the right location.

--I will have to look at this idea more closly. Might be a project!
