We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Go for the not so obvious, that are often WAY more obvious; hidden in plain sight if you will... 'Display gun' on the wall; In the umbrella stand, etc... be creative, where would you NOT expect to find a gun?:uhoh:
ON, your person is best, but strategically placed around the house is also good! (even in addition to actually 'carrying'...)
Oh yeah, for years I had an old fridge in my 'back yard' that was about 75 yds from my back door that I used for target practice! Great for .22, don't expect it to stop anything bigger!:banghead:

As a side note to my 'map'... You are in Wisconsin... I have lived almost all of my life in Texas... 'typical housing' varies by region, but I can 'layout' almost any house by just looking at the front of it! and I am neither an architect nor a criminal! Also, I can walk straight to all the 'typical' 'hiding places' in most homes... If you think for even a second that a 'career criminal' couldn't do the same, you are sorely (possibly even deathly) mistaken... Watch the series 'It takes a thief' (I think it is/was on discovery channel) A couple of Ex-thieves case out and rob houses then show the owners how they did it and how to beef up their security. Very enlightening!:shock:Damn it Gator. Just give them a map!, some variances in your "layout" of my home: Weapon and magazine on top of the refrigerator, central location, 3 seconds from any room on main floor. Visual secluded by walls, deeper into the house than the front entry- for start, and fall back. And laugh if you wish but: As I prep. "for launch" the refrigerator door offers moveable protection and concealment, as well as a token bullet stopper- or at least slower downer.
