Discussion: Company Makes 'Concealment Furniture' To Stash Guns Around The Home

Discussion for article #225877

So the weapons are out of sight and require a key to get to? Can’t say as I’d complain. Now, the tendency (as in the image) to store them loaded, though… that’s just irresponsible.

What style would this be, Revolutionary Moderne? I’ll have to peruse a copy of Modern Trailer the next time I am in a bookstore.

Hidden under a table? Perfect! It’s totally out of reach of kids who never play hide and seek!

What’s wrong with a gun safe?

Not my cup of tea.

But for those folks who want to have a weapon quickly ready for self-defense in their homes (I know, I know, but folks gotta right to be stupid), it seems like a more sensible system than leaving a loaded pistol in a drawer or on a high shelf on a bookcase.

The description of the coat-rack makes it sounds like the manufacturer is making a sincere effort to keep these things from being opened by accident or by curious unsupervised children.

That won’t help, of course, if the owner is the type to tell his four year old to remove a certain magnetic peg and bring him his AK-47 because “Daddy needs some personal time to fondle his gun”.

Or, if magnets are used as the “key” for these containers, for children who run around trying to stick magnets on things. And you know, the first time they stick a magnet on the table and a AR-15 pops out, they’ll be sticking magnets EVERYWHERE.

But customers would seem to be trying to prevent at least casual access to their firearms, if they feel compelled to keep them at the ready.

There’s nothing wrong with capitalizing on teh stupid.

I mean, I suppose this would be a good investment if you’re selling heroin out of your living room, or doing anything else where the risk of armed attackers bursting in and spraying your home with weapons fire is a legitimate concern. Otherwise, buy a safe like a normal person would.

Perfect for when you are selling cocaine to people you don’t know.

You know what makes a great late-night drunken party trick?

Wait’l you guys see this!
But first, another round of Jello shots!

I have no idea why this is a story. People need to put the guns somewhere. If you have a gun, you need to put it somewhere. What’s the point of the story?

I admire anyone who can come up with a great idea designed to deprive gun nuts of their money. I also applaud anyone who can come up with an idea to deprive religious fundies, birthers, or Republicans in general of their cash.

Good business is where you find it. Next up: Body armor for fetuses.

My kid learned to pick these types of locks with his Thomas the Tank engine wooden rail cars before he could talk. Any type of magnet will work, once you learn, or happen upon, or observe the secret spot to apply it.
