Just a lockbox by the bed is sufficient if you're not a waste of space junky like Nick, but the most important thing if you have kids is to teach them gun safety.This a legit question to my burger friends: why is storing your Sig Sauer under the bed a bad thing? I seem to recall many times many people bitching about the stupidity of gun safes, because in a home defense situation you want your firearm as soon as possible. Of course, there's the "the kids might blow your/their brains out" thing, and the loose ammunition, but then what is the proper way to store it in a way that wouldn't be an aggravating factor yet still be optimal for home defense?
Its the fact he's been busted for drugs and he has firearms and ammo just laying around.
Without the drug charges theres nothing wrong with having it under the bed per se, as long as you don't have really young kids and they don't have access to that room.
I have a gun room where I have all my shit for 3 Gun and my reloading bench and stuff, thats code locked and I have a key in case the power is out, and theres another safe in there.
For home defense, if I'm awake I have my Sig on my belt, at night its in a hidden compartment under the bedside table that flips down if you know where the switch is.
I also have other firearms strategically placed in similar hidden emergency stashes all around the house.
You can get hidden gun racks that just look like normal shelves but with a hidden button that flips down and you can keep an AR and a pistol in there. When the compartment is up it just looks like a shelf.
You can also get concealed safes that are built into the wall and you'd never know they were there.
My hunting stuff is just on a wall rack in the kitchen.
I don't keep that loaded.

I also don't keep ammo anywhere but my safe apart from my emergency home defense stuff, and I keep chamber flags in all my firearms so I know they're safe at a glance.
