It may be said that a man’s home is his castle, but it is truly the wife that decorates that castle! Although gun cabinets can be purchase in many different sizes, shapes, and materials to match any room decor, it may be difficult for you to convince your spouse that she should let you put one in the living room. If you buy it and she thinks it is ugly, you may get the ultimatum that either the gun cabinet or you are going to be on the curb with a sign that says “free”. So how do you over come these objections?
Maybe some hidden gun safe furniture is in your future. So what is this? There are actually many different options. Let’s take a look at some:
- A hidden gun cabinet may work well as a compromise. It looks like a typical curio cabinet or book shelf. It actually has a secret, though. If you look closely, you will find a small key lock that when opened will allow the back of the cabinet to swing out revealing a eight to sixteen gun cabinet. This is an excellent way to secure your guns by hiding them, but at the same time you can display them whenever you want by simply unlocking the cabinet. Best of all, she doesn’t even need to see the gun when she walks by her beautiful curio cabinet.
- The second type is more of a hybrid. It is a cross between a wooden gun cabinet and a gun safe. Typically a manufacturer will take a traditional gun safe with all of its superior security and then mount it inside a wood cabinet to hide it. This piece has the best of both worlds; beauty and strength.
If your wife is hesitant to allow a gun cabinet in your house, you should consider a hidden safe option.
