Bedside gun storage

[blankford]

I have kids and have other peoples kids over quite a bit although my room is off limits. I keep my piece on top of my dresser inside this.

Do want. Where'd you get this?

I use a false book safe, here.

Like this... Will have to start telling everyone I like to keep up on my vocabulary if they start asking why I have a Dictionary in every room of the house.

That's a good easy way to ruin a guns finish. There's a lot of pressure on it when shoved between the matters and box spring.


Beside holster bracket is the way to go.

How does pressure damage the finish??????

It doesn't. But paired with the abrasive materials of the mattress and box spring, it will. It'll tear up the finish in no time at all.
Stick one of your nice guns under the mattress for a few months. Let me know how it turns out for you.

Less .... if you pursue, let us say, an 'active' lifestyle .... YMMV.

I have small children. I have a full size gun safe in the back of the bedroom closet, but next to the bed I have The Liberty HDX-250 biometric gun safe:

Got it for a bit less than 200 as I recall when Cabelas had a skid of them on sale. Wasn't looking to spend even that much, but a year in now, it has been worth every penny.

It programs easy, opens easy on the first swipe, and is spring loaded for horizontal or vertical mount - it opens fast. It has internal batteries, but also includes an external AC adapter, and manual key. There is a sturdy mount plate that is sold separately.

Downside to the Simplex type: someone can run through all possible combinations in 15 minutes.

No sign of entry.

Downside to the downside: If someone has 15 minutes in which to run through all possible combinations you are either away or dead.

If you want a 100% guaranteed pick-proof safe, weld the damned thing shut.

I was just questioning the original statement.

It also depends on what the finish is. Some are more durable than others.
