Collecting Guns? You Need These Gun Storage Solutions

John Butler runs the books for us here at GC. He's a brilliant accountant hidden inside a lumberjack's body.

We're pretty sure his flannel alone could stop a tsunami cold, and his beard is so thick we'd wager those course mats of hair are more bullet-proof than Kevlar.

Years ago, John built a stone cabin by hand, tucked in a remote patch of Central Idaho near the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness.

We've seen photos (“cabin porn,” we call it), but nobody goes there but John. It's his sanctum, his personal church in the woods.

John doesn't worry about gun storage solutions too much, especially considering the jarring sequence of no-name dirt roads you have to crack your back down to get to this place.

The rest of us, however, know proper firearm storage in more common (as in populated) environments, which requires a little planning and foresight.

You need to keep your guns safe and hidden from intruders and curious children. You also need gun storage solutions to make your firearms easily accessible when you need to get to them at a moment's notice.

If your firearm inventory exceeds more than a couple of pieces, it might be wise to have one or two “everyday” go-tos you can find in one location. At the same time, prep the rest for more long-term options.

Hiding Guns from the Government Instructional Video

Building a simple structure lets you hide firearms of all sizes. This video gives instructions and uses for this easy addition to your home!

Just remember there is a certain amount of preparation that goes into long-term gun storage.

There are many ways to prep your gun for hiding, but the most common way is to disassemble it, spray it generously with good-quality gun oil, and wrap each component separately. Then you put them all together and seal them in a waterproof container.

Add desiccants to keep the moisture in check (the little packs you find in freeze-dried food…you know, the ones we've all eaten when making a hasty camping meal in the dark).

If you want to be able to use the gun when you find yourself in a dangerous situation, then just wrap the fully assembled gun with volatile corrosion inhibitor paper and place in a water-tight container, once again with desiccants. You can get big rolls of VCI online for around $20.
