And this part:
In a bedroom, a laundry hamper “offers a lot storage potential for snacks as thieves are usually not interested in your soiled clothes.”
When my oldest nephew was a toddler, he used to like to hide in my sister’s laundry hamper. Yeah, right, great place to stash a handgun.

The real tip-off is the reference to “strategic value.” These overgrown 12-year-olds all fantasize about taking part in some sort of complex conflict that resembles something from a video game.
The bottom line is inescapable, however. If the gun in your home is truly stored safely, locked up and unloaded, it’s of no use against your imaginary 2:00 am intruder. If it’s readily accessible, on the other hand, it presents an unacceptable danger to you, your family, and your friends and relatives.

Handguns are one thing, but where do I hide my AR-15? How about in my daughter’s princess playhouse?

This article is a fake. Every true red-blooded god-fearing American hides their gun in the only place truly sanctified enough to house it: a hollowed out bible.

Indeed. It is the quintessential catch 22. Your weapon is only useful if you have advance notice of an oncoming attack, said notice which is highly unlikely. So to decrease the amount of notice required, you unsafely store your loaded weapon, which exponentially increases the odds that your someone in your own family will be terminated with it…said termination of family member of course being the stated rationale for possessing said weapon in the first place.
IOW you’re greatly increasing the likelihood of the outcome you’re trying to prevent. And Wayne LaPierre et al won’t give a happy fuck about it.

Use “a small CD wallet” or hollow 8-track cassette, or VCR Tape box, portable record-player case, gramophone horn, or “Mary Had a Little Lamb” wax cylinder–or any other archaic media relic you have.

The commenting system attempts to download the remote image and then host it locally, which makes it look like it disappeared because the local image hosting doesn’t work.
Out of curiosity, does anyone else see the broken image icon every time someone uses an emoticon? I wonder if the issues are related.

Beyond the idiocy of pandering to paranoid delusions of persecution, I have to wonder how Beretta could think that colluding with guns.com on unlocked places to hide guns could be a good idea for their public image? Where professionals respect guns as dangerous tools, Beretta comes off like a teenager trying his buddies to put one over on their parents.
I hope this comes up the next time Beretta threatens to move its production out of a state considering new gun laws.

Totally impractical. It prevents use of an extended magazine on the AR, and the mounting for the shotgun prevents you from successfully pumping to chamber the next round.
And worst of all, when you tilt it up to aim at a tyrant, junior is looking up - what’s he supposed to shoot at? Unless you give him a stinger…hmm…

I know. You mentioned that you keep your guns in a locker in a deadbolted closet. That’s where weapons ought to be stored to keep kids safe. As for me, I got rid of my weapons when I had kids. After much thought I decided that there was nowhere on my property that was failsafe in preventing the ultimate tragedy.
Of course I know how to kill a motherfucker in about a second flat with my bare hands so it’s not really a huge issue to me.

It may be difficult for some gun owners to recall where they stored their weapons, so the storage place itself should serve as a memory aid. And who would look for a gun in the refrigerator or the pantry? Consider storing your firearms in a container with the –
• Duck
• Pop tarts
• Popovers
• Bangers
• Soda pop
• Bamboo shoots
• Popcorn
• And anything fortified.
