The Five Principles of Modern Firearm Storage
1
Every Firearm Requires Its Own Space
Protect the firearm, optics and accessories from interference with adjacent firearms.
2
Straight-Line Access
No moving, tilting or removing other firearms to reach the one you need.
3
Storage Must Adapt
Firearms, accessories, collections, homes and requirements change. Storage should change with them.
4
Organization Creates Readiness
Firearms and associated gear should be organized as a system.
5
Design Around the Firearm — Not the Box
Storage should conform to modern firearms rather than forcing firearms to conform to a fixed container.
