The gun cabinets that I have found are excellent additions to our home. I like to collect old rifles and I tend to have an affinity for those that are still in working order. Of course, with all their style I have always had my eye on the safety of the children. The last thing I want is an accident. Of course, I take special precautions. I lock up the ammunition. I do not lock them in the wooden gun cabinets. I take them to a different room and I have a lock safe that I keep the ammunition. My guns are never stored loaded.
The gun cabinets made by Amish crafters do offer a safety lock. This will help prevent theft but more importantly it means that unless the children are interested in breaking the glass to get to an unloaded gun then the chances are very slim that they will ever touch them. It’s important to me that I know this, as my children do spend a few hours home in the afternoon with a babysitter. She might be great at what she does, but a child with a mind set is a child who will find a way.
The key to the cabinets and the ammunition is stored on my regular key ring so I don’t have to worry about anyone getting into them while I am at work. The safety and the usefulness of these cabinets have been wonderful. I love that I can keep them displayed and I love that I know that there is no way the kids are going to touch them.
When I started looking at wood gun cabinets I thought that finding one with a security lock was going to be impossible. But the Amish made gun cabinets I found were really on target when it comes to enhancing the style by making it as safe as possible. The look inside the home is really fantastic and the guns are displayed in a way that helps visitors and guests to understand what it is I like so much about them.
