All of my modern/active guns are always locked in the gun safe, out of sight/out of touch. I do have a couple of black powder revolvers and an old Yugo mauser on display in my museum room.
Do you display your guns?

Why would you build a gun cabinet using a 20 ounce tumbler normally used for drinking Singapore Slings and Pina Coladas?

Formally display? No. Have them scattered about the house? Yes.
Do not have any visible signs of gun or knife collection in home or garage. No magazines, flyers etc. lying around. Have visitors in home from time to time, along with repairman and do not want to create some buzz. Eyes can sometimes take in a lot of information.The visitor or repairman may not do anything, but who do they talk to. Don't need loose lips when it comes to my guns and knifes. I am known basically as the old guy in the neighborhood that likes to work in his yard. Like it that way.
The term "hurricane glass" I used was from when I lived in South Florida and was the common name there for the impact resistant laminated glass used in place of hurricane shutters. It is so tough that firefighters had trouble breaking the windows when responding to fires.

Concealed means concealed.
The only display I'd offer is
the muzzle end of a barrel to a perp.

I have my Lee Enfield hanging on my bedroom wall. That's about it...

If my house is going to be unoccupied, which is rare, I lock them up. But 99% of the time I keep some of my nicer looking rifles and shotguns in a glass door display case in the living room.
Now 10 years ago when my wife and I would be gone most of the day working, the firearms were locked up, and some of my more expensive one's would be kept in secret hides. I still use those hides, but only when my wife and I won't be home.

Nope, none of mine are on display.
It's no one's business, other than mine, what I have.
I'd be concerned with attempted break-ins.
Although I shouldn't worry, I have 2 Great Danes
One, a female, would lick you to death & the other, a male, would not let you in!

Same here. I look at gun safes as the first place a thief would look for a firearm. In my house you could open one with a 155 howitzer round and the neighbors would know about it.
the ho hum stuff gets locked up in the vault. The good stuff get so hidden even I have a hard time remembering where I put it when I get back from vacation.

Just a couple of Colt SAAs displayed in a private upstairs den. And those disappear before grandkids come to visit.
Not an entitlement thing at all. If I felt that the company was working for was doing an adequate enough job ensuring my safety I would have no issue leaving my guns out in the truck. After that office invasion I had a few months back I have changed my way of thinking. Luckily my company only has a sign up and no actual no guns policy in place.

I do not display any firearms. Always locked away and out of sight.
