Final Thoughts
When a burglar sees your gun safe, what do you think goes through their mind?
They get excited knowing,
“There’s obviously something of value in there, and I WANT IN.”
They immediately focus on the safe, pry it off your wall, and take the whole damn thing.
IF you install your gun safe correctly, they might not succeed.
But they know exactly where your firearms are located.
but what enters an intruders’ mind when they pass a bookshelf, bench, or coffee table?
They won’t think anything of it…
They’ll think,
Nothing worth my time here; keep moving.
That’s the beauty behind hidden gun furniture.
The bottom line:
If intruders don’t suspect anything, they won’t look and won’t find them.
