    There's a lot of nice furniture being made w/ hidden compartments. W/ two young kids at home if it doesn't open w/ RFID I can't have it in my house. And opening in this manner kind of defeats the purpose of it. Maybe one day

    Yup, having young kids in the house restricts how you can store your self defense weapon. Be it kids or grandkids.

    That will work IF you are in bed! If you are not in bed, not so much.

    We are empty nesters and virtually no one goes into our bedroom around here anymore but the wife and I. My 870 riot gun loaded with 00 buck is within my reach by the bedside. I have been thinking about getting a good light and mounting it to the magazine tube in such a way as to make the light virtually the sight. So where the light shines is were the gun shoots.

    I'm a restless sleeper sometimes, I'd hate to wake up to a shotgun hitting me on the head because my noggin pushed into the headboard.

    Not if you teach them RIGHT. I taught my kid right and I had no problem leaving a loaded gun sitting anywhere around the house if I was so inclined.

    You could definitely set a hidden storage system up with a sear or magnetic catch so you had to press HARD to get it to open, making a minor head bump on it not cause deployment. Or even a thin dowel or glass rod you have to break to deploy it. I've also seen fabric covered speakers set so you rip through the covering to grab a handgun, radios with a pistol velcroed to the back, and lots more of creative sneaky concealment systems. You don't have to buy someone's costly fancy system, just think sneaky That shotgun holder is definitely a good answer, though.

    I'm worried about that in between age when they are mobile enough to get into things but not old enough to understand. We won't be taking any chances.

    It would be determined if she decided to raise her head or not.

    I'll bet it's good for his waistline doing all those sit ups.
    I should do some sit ups, my belts getting a little short.

    This is where I'm at. When they're both five or six I won't be as worried. My mother grew up w/ her father's duty revolver sitting on the dining room table. I remember him coming home and placing it on the same table. I knew not to touch it. But those memories start around age five.

    A loaded pump without one in the chamber propped next to the bed is one of the guns I have in my bedroom. The added benefit is that any bad guy will hear the distinctive slide rack when I pick it up and get ready for some fun. I've never had to use it and hope I never do but I think that will be about all it takes for anyone to rethink their choice in profession.

    AR-15 is in a ready rack with one in the chamber. I pull the pin and the gun is available for use. Pin in the rack and trigger is blocked. PK380 is always with me, at night it hang on a loop on the night stand within reach.

    Most arguments involving a 12-gauge get solved rather quickly with very few rounds fired.
