Dean- What a beautiful cabinet! For my 30th birthday my wife commissioned the company that handcrafts the gun cabinets in LL Bean's Maine Store. They are nothing fancy, quite simple really, sort of a Shaker style and lit on the inside. She had them build a small 8 gun cabinet. I loved it. If I wanted to feel good I'd go into the office in our home and flip that cabinet light on and imagine my great grandfather carrying his deer rifle or recall a favorite duck hunt. Then for safety and security reasons we bought a big ugly safe and now spin the dial to peak inside. It's not the same. We gifted my old cabinet to my nephew. When I get to the point I can't remember the combo any more I think I'll go back to a big cabinet...

These days thieves find it much easier to steal from your computer or cellphone, much less risky than breaking into homes that have security systems, video cameras everywhere and armed owners. Petty thieves have turned to car jacking.

Bringing this thread to the top for readers of a similar thread today.

I am thankful for this thread and the comments on the other thread I started. I think I am going to have a 6 gun case built for display and put the rest back in a locked room. For security, I am going to have polycarbonate glass in front, and a locking bar across the middle of the guns, with a hole up top for the barrels to fit through. Pretty good security, although still a risk. I simply need to be able to see these guns to help me keep smiling. Thanks for the input.

Very elegant and very well done! Except for the pool table, it reminds me of one of the alcove rooms at the NRA National Firearms Museum, about 6 minutes from my house. No level of security is too much; I do not display my guns at home in any form and am very discreet and selective of whom I share them with.

Here is another inspiring display, no longer intact, from an old thread; which was then posted for our appreciation by F. H.
