I leave both of my .22's in hard cases and locked. My HK is locked up when I'm not at the house, but otherwise is open. Usually on my person.

All my pistols are locked up in a small safe, the long guns (shotgun & .22) are stashed away, until I can get a large gun safe in the next few weeks.

I put medium, based on price but it is a full size in dimensions - much same as Bud's I think we discovered.
It does not tho and cannot hold everything - so all important handguns are in - as are major longarms. Everything else has to secreted where possible tho many C&R category longarms do ''litter'' my office!
No use getting another safe really - no space to put another !!!

I have a thinwall rifle safe like the one woody has.
I just got it, and need to secure it. I did have the Idea of putting it in plain view, bolt it down, and fill it up with a bunch of worthless crap. Then hide the good stuff in a false wall/floor/etc compartment. I need to do some remodeling anyway. LOL!

Many years ago, I visited a friend who has a rather impressive black powder gun collection. In his "gun room" was all his re-enacting gear and some mostly non-shooting "wall-hangers."
At one end of the room, there was a gun rack on the wall with a Daisy BB gun and a fishing rod on it. Just below those two, was a shelf, with a pair of drawers on the ends.
He opened those drawers, reached inside and unfastened a pair of door bolts. . .
And that whole section of paneling lifted right out of the wall!
This hidden-in-plain-sight door covered a two foot deep "closet" that went the full, 8 foot span of that wall. The "door" was a 4 foot wide piece of paneling with the gun rack mounted on it.
Had he not shown it to me, I never would have seen it. It was cheap and easy to build, and only took a little bit of space in an already small room. He kept all his "good" guns in there, including several Civil War originals.
Might just use that trick myself, one of these days.
