Book Gun Storage

[Neanderthal]

so your telling me that if I decide to break into your house I need to keep you away from the books? Got it-

Yep. "That book will keeeel".

Why are we hiding guns?

That's a good idea! I may have to experiment with that, if I can find some spare foam laying around.

I've never cut one out... but for the box idea, ya might try gluing the outer edges first before cutting out the pages.

You could glue all the pages (including the back cover) and close it in its normal position with weight on it.

Just don't glue the front cover...

Those would sell on here I bet. I know I'd bye one because I'm too lazy to make one lol.

Nah, I've tried those and never had good results. Gluing pages individually is unneccessary and it makes the pages crinkle. Putting glue on the inside of the compartments is the best method that I've found, so far. I do put saran wrap between the front cover and cover page to keep from gluing them together (I learned my lesson early on that one!)

Good to know, thanks.

Ha! I was just thinkin' earlier that I had bought a good-sized hardcover book at a garage sale for 50 cents that would work well for this.

But I donated it to the local library IIRC.

Surely the weight of the book with 2 loaded mags and the gun would get her attation.

My brother did that in the 1960s to a paperback copy of The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. Big book about Nazi Germany.
