Gun Storage?

How do you store your guns?



Are they all in a safe?

Are they in soft cases leaning against the wall?

Do you only store your guns in hard cases and stack them in a closet?

On display in viewing Cabinets?




I am curious what is the best way to store my guns. Looking for ideas.

All types of guns.

I use a combination of storage that keeps some available and some secure. All are inaccessable by the kids.....all are accesable to me.

A Safe.

Best way is a safe.  DONOT store in cases especially the soft ones, these seem to cause rust.

X2, monitoring moisture and temp in a safe isn't a bad idea either.

Ive never had a problem with rust, and I have one in a leather holster, and another in a soft case... maybe depends on the environment the safe is stored?

If you can swing it, buy a safe...safe and secure.

Definitely best to have a safe.  Leave a shotgun and a .22 rifle or pistol out for general use/protection.  Plus, you can keep your ammo, knives, jewelry/valuables, important paperwork etc. in the safe.

No offense but a public forum is not the place to be telling the world where to look in your house for your guns, I am surprised even this many guys replied to someone basically asking where their guns are located with only three posts.

  That is why I just said what the best idea was, not anything about me personally.

In response to Huntnphool.

Isn't that the point of owning a safe? Locking them for safety and prevention of theft? Not asking for addresses or where they store guns in the home.


The reason I ask the questions is I recently got a hunting rifle and have been storing it back and forth between a gun safe and a soft case.  I like it in the soft case because it is easy to access but feel safer with it in the safe.   I  was wondering if anyone had a different way of storing.

With the help of the previous posts (minus Huntnphool) It seems I am on following the path of others.

A responsible gun owner should keep his/her guns locked in a safe when not in use. Otherwise the ones left out should be in direct control of the owner. A safe was one of the best purchases I ever made, since there is much more in the safe than guns. Valuables, important papers and such.

How hard could it possibly be to put it into your safe?  A couple of button pushes and a spin of a handle and I'm in in a couple of seconds.  Put it in the safe.  And Phools wise.  When I first saw your post, my initial thought is that it was from a gun control person wanting some material to post on a website quoting "a bunch of redneck hunters just leaving guns laying around" kind of thing.  I'm sure youre not, but that was my first thought about someones very first post.
