How do you store your home defence gun(s)

i just bought a new dresser that has a hinged top on it with a storage tray underneath. it it about 5 feet tall and with small kids in my house, they cannot reach it. it is 2 feet from my bed and that is where my .40 resides with two ten round magazines next to it. i know i can pop one in and chamber a round with my eyes closed. i also keep the tactical flashlight on the windowsill next to the bed where i can reach it without being able to see.

before that, i used to keep it in my unfinished closet on one of the 2x4 headers above the door. it was easy to grab there but i did have to open the closet door to get to it. not as effective but again, i had to keep it out of reach of the kids.

my shottie (benelli nova tactical) is posing more of a problem. i have to find a spot for it that is not accessible to the kids yet is within reach if i need it. i'd rather that be the first weapon i grab, but it's looking like the pistol is going to have to do for now.

 

This is where I keep my 1911, mounted under a small table next to my bed in a night hawk holster I had, had to do some custom work to mount the holster onto the table but ended up very sturdy and easy access...



I try not to keep anything interesting or eye catchy under the table just in case if that somebody that's not suppose to be in the house is.



(No kids are in the house only adults)

 

What's a clip?

 

I keep them where they are effective without delay or noise. It may or may not be a gun. That is all.

 

i thought that too but last time I said it someone got butt hurt

 

Very nice!

 

Yeah, I know, its just one of those things that gripe me.
