When it comes to kids, hidden means nothing. Heck, when I was little I looked all over the place for 'dad's gun'. Expect them to look through all your stuff at some point. A locked drawer means "ooh, something interesting!"

Do not count on the drawer lock for security, either. It is probably relatively easy to open. Get a drawer mini-safe.

If you have a keyed safe rather than a combination safe, treat the key the same way you would treat the gun...keep it on your person at all times. If you have a combination safe, do not keep the number written down.

Kids are very smart, and they are also masters of imitating what you do. If they see you opening the safe, they will know how to do it.
