concealed carry furniture?

Anyone seen this?

Still adapting my home to having accessible firearms for defense VS a curious toddler and while playing on amazon this caught my eye...

Anyone seen anything like it? I thought it was pretty clever.

That really is cool. However, I would not count on the tykes failing to discover that cache, eventually. They handle/explore EVERYTHING.

Badass.

ETA - I agree with Leonidas. Didn't take long for my little brother and I to open dad's secret armory room when we were younger.

I think the latest issue of Recoil has a number of different pieces if I'm not mistaken.

Funny - I was looking at those this morning too. Fort Knox makes a nice looking one but pretty expensive.

Great hiding spot for a quick go to gun but not really secure enough with having little ones around. -- You know if they see you open it one time its over.

There was a post several months ago where a member here built a coat rack to go by the door that hid a shotgun. I think that is my favorite. The shelf you linked looks nice, but I think it might be more difficult to get that to blend in, at least with my home decor. If your wife has a wall already covered with shadow boxes and similar shelves, go for it. Seems like a solid idea as long as it is high enough and not next to a chair or counter.

ETA: My girlfriend has a 5 year old son and I have had to modify my home setup accordingly. For now, I'm just putting my bedside shotgun on top of my 7' armoire and putting the pistol on the top of the kitchen cabinets when they come over. I'm 6'6" so it works well enough.

I'm currently using the height advantage too, but that won't last forever. The pieces I linked require a magnetic key to unlock, so thats a pro/con as well.

damn thats genius.

I didn't notice the part about a magnetic key. That would be a no-go for me. A hidden latch or secret button would be the only way to go, imo.

I see this and all I can think is, "Bond...James Bond!"

I had looked into one a few months ago. The price was 10x that! I'm just wondering what kind of quality you're going to get for sub $200.
