I can't imagine what it must be like living in a manner in which you think that trained ninjas are about to jump in your window at any minute. To be so paranoid and frightened that you have a handgun within quick-draw reach at all times must take a great toll on your soul. Perhaps you shouldn't own guns because you are certifiably crazy.

It is no trouble to walk into my master closet and punch in the code to my box. I can be armed pretty quickly. But I would never leave lethal weapons laying around. I have kids and other kids come over. If I find out that any of my kids' friends live in homes with guns laying around my kids would not be allowed to go over there.

This is basic family gun safety, people. If you don't take control, as the adult, you are giving other people, whose brains have not fully developed, the unrestrained power to kill and be killed. That is just plain stupid.

What is it about you that makes it impossible for you to have a logical conversation with someone of differing opinion, without resorting to subtle insults and name calling? Immaturity?

You gonna leave wife and kids in the room with the guy that just kicked your door in?

Mine isnt "laying around" either. It is well placed. And while i have one child, she is not an imbecile, and we dont have other kids over to our house, but n the rare instance that we do, no guns are left out.

That's awesome. $1500 for the gun and $5 per box of tissues.

Old beater 22 sits by the front door for armadillos and what not. 870 in the corner of the bedroom, 9mm in the drawer.

Deer rifles and nicer shotguns stay in the safe. Everything goes in the safe when someone with younger kids come over.

I will bet you the guns in that safe that if we ran a drill simulating me breaking into your house, I can throw open the door and have you or someone you love on your/their knees at gun point before you get that safe open.

Alarm.
Video cameras, video backed up to a different location, not near computer.
Locked room.
Safe bolted down.

Not impossible to steal, but extremely difficult.

I don't own any guns. I'm a pacifist.

Me, neither.

That's all to protect my manifestos against the ruling class.

Truck with utility trailer, mitabo grinder, and let me know when you go on vacation.

I will have to go by the local HD to pick up some messican labor.

I have 2 kids and obviously want them to be safe. I also want my gun to be available and loaded in the house so me and my wife can use it for protection. I have a small safe for the pistol, a wallmount safe for my shotgun but want to consider easier access.


1. Get some curtain rod hooks that you screw into a wall.

2. Put them above the door of a non walk into pantry or closet.

3. Put loaded shotgun on said hooks.

No one has ever noticed the gun. If the kids did, they have no chance of reaching it.

This. They were expensive paper weights when not in use well before the time I was old enough to find the above.

My next house will have a hidden room off my basement with a eye scanner, fingerprint scanner, and voice requignition.

It will also be hidden behind the wall with a secret pullout to get to the security pads.

I will house my computer network and servers.

Security cameras through out my house and in the woods around my house.

This is what my grandfather did at his house. He had a shotgun mounted above every door in his house. Bedroom, closet, bathroom, and entryway.

My dad does the same thing plus he has a hidden (in the wall) stash of guns that even I am not sure where they are. He left a note in the family lock box to be opened upon his death.

Small hijack:

Do Mexicans really hang around HD looking for work?
I never have noticed them in Covington.

I need to hire some labor to clean up a home construction site.

I'm assuming all of these secret wall safes are installed with a new built house?

How do you tell that to a builder?
"oh yea behind this staircase I want a secret room."
