Do you display your arms or are they always locked in a safe? Maybe rotate one or two at a time out for display somehow???
I want to look at them and handle them, and find myself frustrated because they are in gun cases and I can't see what's where. Bought some tags, and some cards that I could tape to inserts for the barrels, but half my rifles are upside down, so barrel cards won't work, or as I said, some are in cases. Don't want anything on the stocks as that would ruin the finish.
How to find a certain gun....

mine are/were in every corner of the house and leaning anywhere i could lean one. except for the nice ones that are in a glass front cabinet(16 of them). the wife finally blew a gasket when i jumped her for knocking over my 30-30G while she was vacuuming the living room. thats why i have been selling the last coupe weeks. i tried to get her to let me build a sheriff's rack along one wall of the living room so i could sit and see them, but you can guess where that went! the best i have come up with is the display cabinet with glass front. holds 16 rifles and up top behind an ammo shelf i have hooks for handguns. built it out of blue stained ponderosa pine and made one for the wife just like it for her Indian stuff. only way i got away with gun collection was to give her all the family Indian stuff. i dream of a old time man cave but will never get one.

Standing in corners- bad! That's like standing one against the truck when you climb out. That's a guaranteed tip over. No worries of theft Tom? I've got a Magnum Research 22 mag standing next to the fridge, not for display but for coyotes that would get my dog. But it's graphite barrel and rubber Hogue stock so no worry.

norm Assuming you mean by law. What if you take one out and set it down to go get a drink, and just then the gestapo shows up, gun unattended. Or what about when you've got one out for any reason, like reloading, or cleaning, or setting it out for tomorrows hunt?

The laws in Canada are deliberately vague to give police the opportunity to lay charges and let the judge sort it out. You may well win your case but remain stuck with a $10,000 plus legal bill. One Toronto man was away vacationing and thieves took 3 days to get into his vault and he was charged with improper storage. He had dual Canadian-USA citizenship so simply decided to never return to Canada. Demand a warrant before allowing the law to enter your home to inspect firearm storage.

Before I got my C&R rifles were laying on e every couch and table down stairs. Now they can inspect my C&R safe, so every thing is locked up.
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

I don't do it after a break in and theft a few ears ago. The 99R I sold you survived that crime - thank god. I live on a corner lot and since then built a fence with a locking gate. Everything I own, which isn't much, stays locked up. Experience a break in and you will understand. I don't tolerate theft, thieves or anyone in possession of stolen property, especially firearms.

I've got a Magnum Research 22 mag standing next to the fridge, not for display but for coyotes that would get my dog. But it's graphite barrel and rubber Hogue stock so no worry. If they can find my house, get past the dogs, get into the house, survive a mag of 45 acp or two, my wife would thank them for helping clean up my junk! seriously though i am home most of the time and its a long ways to get to my place. i do worry about it and that is why i am selling/trading off the eclectic part of my pile. the savages go in the gunroom.
