Storing guns in the attic

[Jeb Stuart]

It is my understanding via a friend in the alarm business most breakins happen via front door. They knock. No answer?. Cut your phone line. Kick front door. Close it behind them. Then go straight to master bedroom and bathroom because that is where the guns, pills, and jewlry are. Contary to popular belief theifs don't want your VCR (prolly a collectable now!)or TV. In and out before police arrive. Alarm can sirein away. They will be gone in under two minutes (More time == police.). Your neighbors are at work. Or don't hear it. If they did hear something the street looks fine because door is closed. They prolly don't care because they take pills to cope with grocery shopping.
He suspects there are "professional" or "regulars" who do this for a living. CCTV seldom result in a prosecution.
If you have an alarm, do get/pay for the cellular version not dependent on landline.

I share this because: Keep your guns out of those two rooms helps I suppose.

Anywhere else if found, I would suspect a "friend."

Under the sink is an option too. Under cabinets aswell. In air vents. In dirty laundry.

I like the bank idea. Cheap. private. Makes me think of Bourne movies.

I was in the alarm industry since a young man. Saw thousands of Burglaries. Yes they do go in the front door more than any other entry. However they do not cut phone lines. That is only or mostly done in commercial and Industrial break in's by Professional. Not many Pro's in the home burglary.Even if they were to cut the phone line, the interior or outside siren would go off and they will go. They will look for the easiest house to get into. No sign of a alarm, or CCTV, Mostly corner homes. Homes where a lot of construction is going on nearby. (Workers that know the house is empty from Observing it), CCTV do result in Prosecution in both residential and commercial just like any other crime. Mostly done by Juveniles. Most happen during the day. House near schools where they walk by etc.
Some do case the neighborhood. No lights on at night, house appears empty, no car in the driveway etc.

You could always hide them in cereal boxes in the cupboard or tape them to the back of the fridge

You can also put pistols and revolvers in Old coat pockets in the closet(Good storage even if not out of town. Wrap in a freezer bag). In all my years,
I never saw them steal clothes, even furs. Also a old ugly pair of shoes, bottom of a dirty clothes hamper etc.

Pistol cases under the bottom drawers of your kitchen cabinets or dresser.
