I suggest if you intend to hide guns all over your home, do it clever like. Having shotguns in every corner and handguns on every table and counter isn't a good idea. And don't hide valuables in the top of your dresser, very common place. Most criminals here only break into places that they know of valuables. Usually it's somebody they know kinda or have been around. And I'm not aware of any break ins while people were home around here. And pretty much every theif here does it to provide for their drug use, I'm not aware of any theif that has other reasons. I live in a smaller town, everybody knows alot of people and if you don't know them, you know someone that does. Pretty much every criminal is a drug user, so around here hiding your prescription drugs would be the smartest thing to do. Hiding guns is a good idea too, guns are pretty much easily sold around here. Everyone has a few and always want more. I think more than a safe is required. If there's a few thieves, they can carry away a big safe. If it's smaller, like a little 10 gun safe, one guy can carry that away. I think you need to hide stuff completely out of site. The idea of a safe is still good but it needs hidden, like in a closet or inside of a wall. A really clever idea is putting a hinge on steps. You can just open it up, it work best with carpet so you can't see the hinges. There are several ideas out there, use them. Don't leave your guns in plain site when you aren't home. And let no one know, especially strangers where any of your guns are.
