Hmmm why would you think "behind the dresser" will work? Not with any kid I've been or have ever known.sbrawley wrote:She asked questions about how I would safely keep it and I told her that I would keep the rifle hidden behind my dresser and the ammo locked in the safe (we have 4 kids, so obviously that was the most important issue).
Get at a minimum a cheap Stack-On metal cabinet; the smallest one is $100 bucks--if you have a Tractor Supply near you they will have the best price I think.
I suppose as an alternative you could lock the bolt-up in your safe, but I'm still not sure I want my kids playing with America's Rifle when I'm not around.
