Concealed Safes

Concealed storage hides a firearm in plain sight: inside a wall, a shelf or a piece of furniture. It keeps a gun close at hand without advertising that it is there.

Types of concealed storage

Concealed storage options: in-wall safe, furniture hides, wall shelves and vehicle boxes
  • In-wall safes fit between studs and hide behind a picture or mirror.
  • Furniture hides build a locking drawer into a shelf, table or headboard.
  • Wall shelves look like ordinary floating shelves and release with a magnet or key.
  • Vehicle boxes lock into a console or under a seat.

Concealed plus a real safe

Concealed storage beats a grab-and-go thief because it is never found. Most hides are not heavy steel, though, so keep the rest of the collection in one of the Gun Vaults. Placement still matters.
