The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (the ATF) estimates that there nearly 250,000,000 hand guns in the United States. The presumption is most of them are owned legally. For those who own guns legally there are three things that they should do once they have one. They must be diligent in their gun’s security and gun cleaning. The third thing is they must practice. Like anything else practice increases proficiency and when it comes to using a handgun you want to be as accurate as you can. That only comes from practice.
One of the key ways to practice gun security is with a safe. Gun safes are the best way to protect your hand gun in your home. Hidden gun safes are usually an object that you’re used to seeing that will fit into most home situations but have either a padlock or combination lock to protect the compartment hidden inside. Home gun safes have become extremely popular, especially in the last decade or so as a way to keep prying little fingers away from a dangerous weapon.
Here are some of the more popular hidden gun safes for gun security.
1. First is the gun safe that looks like a set of two books. They have hardbound covers in reddish-brown that will fit in with Bibles or encyclopedias. The titles are displayed on the front cover and on the side. The larger of the two books will hold a large handgun. The smaller of the two books will easily conceal a small handgun. This nested set will fit into any situation where you have books.
2. The Streetwise locking book safe is a portable metal strong box with keys that can be used as a gun safe, a cash box or jewelry box and more. Because the 2″ x 5″ x 9″ compartment is inside a book no one will suspect that there are valuables inside.
3. One of the more popular hidden gun safes is the Mantel Clock Safe. It’s a fully functioning quartz movement mantel clock with a latched container that will hold a handgun up to 8 inches long and 5 inches high in a solid wood construction with a rich mahogany stain that is very attractive itself.
4. And last is a large book safe with a combination lock. It is big enough at 3″ x 8″ x 9″ tall to hold a large hand gun. It has a three digit combination lock that allows you to secure not only handgun but jewelry, cash and other valuables inside your home for good home security.
It is a proven fact that burglars will spend no more than 5 to 6 minutes inside your home. They don’t want to get caught. So if they can’t find something of value in five or 6 minutes, chances are you are home free. That is the basic idea behind these hidden gun safes or home hidden gun safes. They hide valuables ‘in plain sight.’
