I have a secure gun room. Took a third of my basement and built a reinforced wall with a safe door. Wish I had used half the basement. Took a lot of advise from John Mann about building it. Put up a chain link fence over head before putting in a drop ceiling. Outside air venting for fresh air. Dehumidifiers for moister control.
Built wall racks that hold guns upright. They work great, but you can not see most of the guns at all. So I am thinking about building one wall with horizontal racks for displaying guns so I can see them better. If I like it, I will do two more walls, even if it means I need to thin the herd. Like many here I am almost too old to keep buying more and might as we’ll reduce the total number of guns and at the same time upgrade in a few areas.

For some of the guns, I use a vertical rack with wheels In California, that rack in your home would make you a criminal, even if kept in a locked room. I know a lot of criminals. In Canada they keep the regs vague so they can screw you if they want to. Would a secure, locked room not count as a "container"?

Would a secure, locked room not count as a "container"? You could argue the point, but I suspect you’d lose. There is another reg that says you have to case a gun when transporting in a vehicle, even if locked in the trunk. Is the trunk not a container? Another reg says you have to use a locked case when removing the gun from the vehicle. There are multiple layers of multiple regulations from multiple jurisdictions, all designed to screw with us and to give them an excuse to fine you, arrest you, or confiscate your gun. I have not heard that the container reg has been challenged in court.

Looks great, Chad. One thing I wonder, though. With that slick painted surface for the butt of the gun to rest on, how well do you think it's going to work with guns that have the original hard rubber buttplate? Any type of recoil pad should sit in place well, but I wonder about hard buttplates and checkered butts sliding.
If that turns out to be a problem a continuous wide strip of good, thick leather would look nice, and help prevent movement.
Good job! SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.

I think maybe put the leather down anyway? If it's regular paint, and this project is basically real time, the paint will probably stick for a while. Nice work Chad, neat and clean.
