Before you flame me and insist this is a bad idea, hear me out. We cannot afford a safe at the time; so I want to display my rifles, shotgun, pistols, axes, swords, knives and tomahawks. The room has to double as a library and study area, so there will be bookshelves and a desk, as well as an area for my tools. I am looking for suggestions on how to display my tools and weapons on the walls in a safe and somewhat secure manner, so am soliciting your ideas.
To give you an idea of the size, it is a 2nd story (former) bedroom approximately 12x16, with small windows on the north and west walls, and since it is a new place for us, I can set it up anyway I want (my wife is awesome!). Some suggestions from friends were pegboards, shelves, and dedicated gun racks attached to the studs. Any other suggestions would be welcome, and perhaps after I get it set up, I will post pics on here so you can see how it turned out. I will not give specifics, but I have 2 rifles, a shotgun, several pistols which do duty as carry weapons, and a multitude of other hand weapons.
