How do you store you aeg rifles?

[Druid799]

A toy which is still a replica firearm, which in the hands of someone with other intentions for which other people would have no idea if its real or not. Why do you think sites and shops ask you to have guns covered until you are on the premises?

What it boils down too is what clumpy said , immaterial wether it’s a deactivated real gun/Airsoft gun or a model made from cheese to the uninitiated it is a case of ‘if it looks like a duck , walks like a duck , quacks like a duck , then it’s a duck !’ They see an Airsoft gun (and more times than not ANY gun shaped article) and joe public thinks it’s real hence if asked I always recommend having them away out of sight .

Not saying they MUST be locked away mind you just well out of sight , I’m lucky my attic is boarded and well insulated so mine are all up there in my ‘man cave’ so I do have some hung on a wall (chimney brest actually) but I’d never hang them on a wall in a down stairs room that’s for certain.

I think this is an interesting debate both sides. I'm planning on building a wooden cabinet/wardrobe with gridwall or slatwall inside. Lock and bolts on the doors of the unit so the kids won't get in when they get old enough.

BUT now I have put locks on this thing it becomes something a thief would definitely break into as it shows something valuable inside.

Ideally you buy a gun safe but they are a lot of money and the ones I have seen - and as far as I can see in the pictures - are not tailored for most aegs. Couldn't a couple of thieves just nick your gun safe anyway and break into it later? Bolted or not. 

I won't have mine on window display but if I get robbed when we aren't in they would find the rifs anyway, whether on the wall or in a locked unit. If I had them visible on a wall and had trades round then I would take them down and out of sight or push the hidden button and spin the wall around. 

I urr on the side of they are OK on a wall but try to keep them hidden from window sight

push the hidden button and spin the wall around. 

 I like that idea. Perhaps a bookcase that slides out the way to reveal an armoury.

The button could be a specific book. Found my next project... :lol:

That's perfect because thieves can't read. Just pick a thick book ??
