Do you display your flintlock or other guns in your home

To me having my muzzleloaders on display is like flying the stars and stripes. I think most of you get what I'm saying.

Nope

Nothing wrong with an uncompromising approach focused on safety and personal property protection, just as there is nothing wrong with an uncompromising attitude on what it takes to maximize pride of ownership and a daily experience with those things we enjoy most. While I, too, have them, nothing is more sad than a beautiful or historic firearm that sits in a safe for years.

If it works for Gordon Gekko, it works for me.

They hang on the walls of my study, and you'd have to go in there to see them. We are having work done on the house soon, so they will get packed up and be watched by a friend while the workers are at it - too long to fit in the safe. Will do some rearranging when the furniture comes back in, so they will be even less visible to those not in the room.

The Dragoon usually lives on a nail in the wall over the bed

Do you display your flintlock or other guns in your home?​

Yep, in many, many corners, stairwells and dressers (just ask swmbo). She once put my ruger single six, spare clinder AND spare for my ROA in a TOTE and I blamed a buddy for borrowing the riger and never returning it. I no longer let anyone other than my youngest son borrow any weapon. The ROA spare was serevley rusted and saved with the ol Mollasses trick (less most the blueing). She stored it in a leaky shed. 3 years till I stumbled accross it. That'l teach him! ya right.

Only if one has a man cave! Otherwise, in my antique gun cabinet.

I like having a couple that I built myself out for display. Just fairly plain guns with very good wood figure which is the way I like them. The house has plenty of alarm coverage and cameras, so I try not to worry about it too much.

Yes, I have a flintlock that I display in my home. This is my prettiest, and it's up on the wall for display, but can be easily taken down to be shot:

House guns on display.

When I owned a house built in 1830, I would hang my CVA Penn. Long Rifle over the fireplace. It looked "right at home".

Display the weapons? Well, the cartridge ones are in a gun safe as well as my hunting muzzle loader. I have a collection of 1860 Colt replica's along with a Kentucky long rifle (style used in the 1860's) and those are in a viewable gun cabinet along with some Texas Ranger artifacts. Home has an alarm system, and there usually is someone home. But then, all the adults have access to self-defense weapons. Oh yeah, we have three dogs that love to bark! One is a Yorkie that thinks it's a Pitbull!

As of recently, I do. As I sit in my living room right now, I can see four. I'm 75 and started wondering why I don't enjoy them every day I have left. Should have done it years ago. I know chance of theft is enhanced many times over by leaving them out of the safe. In my case, I have no one interested in guns to leave them to. I do take precautions though. Secure them if I leave overnight and close the curtains after dark, plus I placed them high and out of reach. A bit risky still. When my eyes rest on any particular one, it "talks" to me, reminding me of previous adventures in the wildwood or at the range. How about you?

Enjoy your guns nothing wrong with that.

Yep keep the cartridge guns and valuables hidden away.

It doesn't matter how secure things are inside your home if your home itself isn't secure. An alarm system is the best deterrent. Without one, thieves have all of the time in the world to comb through your home.

I agree, home alarm systems aren't that expensive. Neither are the dogs!

I don't display anything. My back is too bad and I can't dig holes anymore.
