Clad in glittering sammite and clutching Excalibur to her bosom gently immersed in Laq Magique . . .

Resembled the refrigerator sylph who turns the light off when you close the door []

I opened my safe and looked for the safe queen but I didn’t see her. What does she look like?

SHE IS AT THE BACK OF THE SAFE... trying not to catch your attention...
SHE HAS HER BEST DRESS ON....but not trying to draw your attention...
SHE HAS GOLD INLAY TO IMPROVE HER BEST TRIBUTES... but she hides them in the darkness...
HER TEXTURE IS SMOOTH AS A BABY'S BOTTOM...
I AM A SAFE QUEEN, NEVER TO BE TOUCHED BY ANOTHER SOUL...
I AM ONE OF A KIND...
I AM A SPECIAL GUN...

All my guns are "safe queens," since I haven't gone shooting in years. Age will do that to you.

So will lack of reloading components, at least in my recent experience.

Would a BBQ gun qualify as a safe queen? No I don’t own this crown jewel

The real question should be- is my safe for security or is it a private museum?

Ahh, the either/or thinking. In this case I prefer both/and thinking.
My safe is both for security and is a private museum.

Its hard to say if I have any true safe queens, as the term is undefined. I only have one gun I want shoot, a Hanover arms side by side 12ga my Great, great, great grandfather bought in 1873. It has a long family history, my dad killed his first deer with it in the 60’s, but unfortunately it’s worn out to the point of unsafe. She ain’t pretty, but she’s a queen.

I have several that I shoot rarely, a nice IH Garand, a near mint 25-2, a nice 29-2, my 22lr A-Bolt I got for Christmas when I was a teenager. I do shoot them, I also spend more time dry firing, fondling, and cleaning them than I do shooting them. I guess that makes them safe Princess’s, maybe?

the only gun I have that I won't shoot is a ww2 walther ppk issued to the SS. I put three or four rounds through it just to say I did, and won't shoot it again.
