The best and only way to secure your collections is #1 -don't let anyone know you have one at home and # 2 totally disguise the location and or entry into the location. remember" loose lips sink ships. If you were to ask me I'd tell you that all of my guns are kept offsite in a secure storage facility with the exception of my defense piece. And I'd also tell you that I would need some time to get to the guns at my storage area. Don't just take a few minutes and appear with that one of a kind rare fortune that took you 25 years to obtain in your collection...Just my 2 cents..Thank You, Dale
Hi Dale and thanks for your contribution. I just assume that everyone here starts with the understanding of keeping silent about the collection (for the most part). Sad thing is that most of us are proud of our collections and want to share them with other collectors and our buddies. Keeping the fact that you're a collector quiet is almost impossible. I'm always asking folks about old guns they have and offering to buy them. Its impossible to keep it very quiet.

I certainly agree with the "keep it hidden" mantra though. Perhaps a fake wall or bookcase is the best solution...
