Its your house, do what you want to do....
Always have something that shoots black powder hanging over your fireplace!
Boy I must really be politically incorrect. I still have a gun cabinet in my living room..
.Yep! I have 2 big glass fronted ones plus hand guns in holsters, black powder horns and other gear hanging on pegs
I used to have a gun cabinet full, still have the cabinet but empty now due to security concerns. Sometimes I use it to temporarily hold something, right now got a .22 Marlin I just picked up in there. I just worry about easy access to would be thieves in a break in. I have a lot of time and money invested in my arms.
I might be worried about possible damage to the wood stock over time, though, if you use the fireplace a lot.
