Where have you stashed a handgun in your home or car that you feel is an especially clever stashing place?<\/p>\n

Here is a list from a very popular internet thread where all these ideas are collecting.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hiding Places<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Empty cereal box in pantry, back when I lived in the \u2018hood\u2019. Was hoping thieves wouldn\u2019t be hungry! Kaboom cereal in Kill Bill<\/li>\n
  2. Hanging upside down from a hook under the bathroom cabinet, just above the door. Inside a closet (not a walk-in) up over the door. Most closets are \u201cshallow\u201d and while a Burglar might go thru your clothes and items on shelving, he probably won\u2019t look straight-up over his head.<\/li>\n
  3. Behind a decorative blanket hung like a cheap tapestry<\/li>\n
  4. Non-locking hideaway picture frame.<\/li>\n
  5. False bottom in bedside drawer.<\/li>\n
  6. Fake electrical outlets.<\/li>\n
  7. Some folks split the upholstery seam on the rear of the passenger\u2019s seat toward the driver\u2013insert a small holster and appropriate handgun, sew Velcro on the seams to reseal.<\/li>\n
  8. Along with my storm door, my main entry door is steel with only a small window at the top. I have a nylon holster with my Colt Detective Special velcroed to the inside of the door, just above the doorknob, canted toward me about 45 degrees, when I open it. I can open the door to someone, & they never know my hand is just inches from a weapon. Should I invite them in, I simply close the storm door and leave the main door open, which puts the gun back against a wall and is never seen by a guest.<\/li>\n
  9. At my desk is a scanner. It has no guts. Lift up the top, and remove handgun.<\/li>\n
  10. A good method in general when you\u2019re away from your home is to take whatever you want to hide, stash it in a garbage bag, and put it amongst dirty clothes. NO ONE looks through dirty clothes\u2026unless they\u2019re a perv\u2026then they\u2019re not usually looking to rob you in that case.<\/li>\n
  11. On the road, usually hide them in with my dirty underwear\u2026\u2026 Go ahead, grab yourself a big handful of that!<\/li>\n
  12. One day when I was replacing the sagging cloth under the couch (you know, the flimsy cloth that covers the couch\u2019s framework?), and realized it would be a great hiding spot. I was surprised by how much room there is under there. I got the dremel and hack saw out and after a little work; I made a horizontal system of hooks with belt fasteners (actually milsurp canvas belts) that can hold four rifles lengthwise. I also made a small wooden cubby-hole and screwed it to the framework near the arm rest. That\u2019s where my barbeque revolvers go. Now it\u2019s not a practical place to store your \u201cgo-to\u201d weapons, but it is very discreet place to store your valuable rifles. I attached Velcro along the cloth and underside of the couch so all you have to do is flip the couch back, undo the Velcro and you have full access to your hidden rifles. It\u2019s funny to have guests sitting on your couch, clueless to the fact that they\u2019ve got four rifles and two S&W\u2019s 9\u2033 from their butts.<\/li>\n
  13. The Sportsman guide has a wall clock that opens up to store a med. to small handgun in. Runs about $55 after shipping. And the clock works!<\/li>\n
  14. Back when I lived in Chicago I used to keep a fairly short, folding-stock 12ga situated diagonally in a clean extra-extra large pizza box lodged between my trashcan and my kitchen cabinets. It looked like it was just trash waiting for trash-day\u2026<\/li>\n
  15. In the closet, on a CHEAP plastic hanger (easily broken), (through the trigger guard, no round in chamber), covered with a button up shirt.<\/li>\n
  16. Under the towels in the master bath.<\/li>\n
  17. I met a woman today who\u2019s designing a holster for a derringer that will go between her uh\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.mammary glands\u2026\u2026<\/li>\n
  18. In an inside jacket pocket on a jacket on a hook in the closet.<\/li>\n
  19. Under the skirt of a spare toilet paper girl in master bath where no guests go.<\/li>\n
  20. My brother in law hid his revolver in the brown paper grocery bags that he had folded next to his refrigerator \u2014 you know how they get stuck in that space between the cabinet and fridge. He put it in a bag and folded it up.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
