How do you display your guns?

[mcneill]

The only ones I display are the TC Hawken flintlock and ASM 1851 Navy (the Uberti Navies are in the safe) which are on brass hangars on the wall behind the bar in the family room. These get moved to the safe with the others when we are out of town overnight.

Would love to have a nice glass front cabinet, but it's just not worth the risk.

Black Powder on the wall
C&R in an a 60s vintage glass front cabinet with bolts removed
Everything else in the safe, for now.
I'm in the process of building a safe room, if it pans out evrything will be on the wall

Nope - I don't put any guns on display.

well i pull up my shirt real fast like and pull it out. this is the only time i display my gun/s. i don't do it often though, it tends to scare people and i heard through the grape vine that you could get into trouble.

I also keep my guns in a safe, except for the ones kept out for defense and now 4 C&R rifles I've put on a rack on the wall.

Every now and then someone shows a nice display stand for a handgun, but I've never wanted one since I won't keep it out to be stolen.

I keep my rifles and shotguns (at least the ones that look nice) in a pair of locked handmade oak cabinets with glass windows in my family room. I have a case-colored S&W M15-9 mounted in a custom display case above the fireplace mantle. All other unused handguns and the "utility-grade" long guns are locked in safes in my gunroom.

Without getting into details, I am reasonably confident that my displayed firearms are safe from those who might wish to "borrow" them.

Don't have a safe yet, and not sure I'm going to get one. Instead, the guns (well... those not stashed) are kept in my office, and we're working out how we want to "harden" the office. Steel door, reenforce the window, and the guns in a rack that locks them solidly to the wall. Be doing everything but the window over the winter...
