Gun Cabinet Plan Model 1954


gun cabinet plans

Easy to build and easy lo look at this knotty pine cabinet will show off your best guns, keeping them safe, clean.

The first thing to consider when deciding to build а J. cabinet for your guns, of course, is to make sure there is ample room for them particularly in the rifle rack side. After this is checked against the dimensions of the one I built (shown in photos and art on these pages) I suggest you listen hard to the happy results I had.

Actually, the prime purpose of a gun cabinet is to keep the deadly firearms away from the children (guns some- bow attract them) the second being the desire to show your guns off as conversation pieces to your friends.

The third reason and my wife liked this one best is that now I have all my things in one place instead of scattered all over.

There are many different types and kinds of wood to choose from but I feel knotty pine is the best to use for this type of cabi­net. It is very easy to work with and there is something about it that goes well in a den. In constructing the cabinet, 6 and 8-in. planks were used to give the paneling ef­fect I wanted. All joints were glued, then drilled and screwed together with No. 6, 1%-in. screws, and hidden by dowels.

For protection I lock the doors by two methods. A regular key lock is used on the rifle section, but on the small arms side, I drilled two holes through the divider and. using pins that you find in hinges, and the small ends off door bolts screwed to the door, I made a bolt lock. This gives plenty of protection against my children getting in. The base is locked with one regular lock and a turn block on the other door. Incidentally, one key will open both locks.

The hidden drawer idea adds interest to the cabinet, is concealed when the door is closed and provides a place to keep ammu­nition and clips.

To add a little color in addition to the actual finish I covered the shelves and rack edges with green felt. Stain and wax.

    Your logic is flawed, and it brgnis into question your ability to properly use research methods. The absence of a person with a gun to stop the Westroads shooter cannot logically be used as evidence that guns can help stop such violent attacks. Unless you can prove that a person was kept from bringing in a gun to Westroads, your hypothesis is mere speculation. Again, the absence of a fact (a person with a gun could have stopped the shooter)cannot be used to make a leap in logic that had something taken place, i.e., a person with a gun could have stopped the shooter, the shooting would not have taken place. In simpler terms, the fact that guns are banned from Westroads is no evidence whatsoever that if guns were allowed in Westroads, the shooting would have been any less likely whatsoever. Your logic is flawed, presumably because to support your thesis, you need to make such unsupported leaps in logic that are pure nonsense. More guns are bad. Less guns are good. In this case, security should have had guns, and they should have had the courage to stop someone who they saw with a huge bulge in his jacket, which they admit to have seen prior to the shooting. And I also see no reason why it took dispatchers two minutes to call out an officer after getting the 9-11 call for the shooting. That seems like a very very slow dispatch time.
