The dude manages to take a picture of a mirror without showing himself, his cod, or mutant feet. I am glad arf can still break his balls about choice of weaponry and devolve it into a dildo beating discussion. Don't ever change.

Yep, self closing drawer slides is an awesome idea. Should hold it in place so a deliberate push is needed to open. I’m storing that in the memory bank.

The urge to stick my foot in the pic was strooooong.  I didn't want to get doxxed from my past career as a notable toe model, though.

If I had it to do over, I would have extended it back into the closet on the other side so I could fit my bump helmet with NV in there.  I did build it so it can be expanded later if I can't live with it as-is but that's a chunk of extra work to make it look right.

I have cellular game cams on the property that alert me when coyotes are lurking around or various critters are probing the chicken coop's defenses  so grabbing NV and a suppressed .22 is a weekly event.

I expected the , not a big deal. I have plenty of fun stuff and plenty of formal training, which included surviving the courts. I did not buy my fun stuff with the thought of home invasions in mind. Given my geographical location, political climate, a shotgun with 14rds 00 it's what I would grab in my situation. Plenty of stopping power and almost a guarantee to stop the threat DRT. Flame away.


Why not go with slugs?
Because a 6-12 inch pattern is better than 1 hole. If you were in a handgun encounter you would do more damage if your shots were a few inches apart rather than in the same hole.

There are locking slides that have a little latch that has to be flipped to open.  You could use one of those on the top.

As a cop who’s worked many home burglaries, I hide my guns in my gun safe when I’m not home.

In a burglary, a 16 yr old kid is going to rip every mirror and painting off the wall looking for dope hides or for this very thing.

Your idea is very james bond, but it’s not going to stop a burglar.

I like the secret mag lock idea, but it would to be rigged to operate quietly.  The times you'd need to access will likely need silence.

Aren't those corners too sharp and pose a hazard to puncturing an artery?

Not only could they accidentally kill someone, but create a huge legal liability.

And that mirror glass is way too shiny.  It could reflect a laser sight and blind you.

I don't think the wood color was a good choice.  Looks too boomer.

And those pointy elbows.

I know you're joking but for a few minutes, I seriously thought about making it a swing-out mirror with an armored back for cover...

YEARS ago (2004 ?) there was a thread here discussing home invasions and one guy posted something to the effect of, "If anyone breaks in, I will immediately run outside because all of my self defense scenarios involve me sliding over the hood of my car!"

Wish I could remember who posted that - it was gold.
