Anyone have anything they've built (preferred) or bought to store things locked up under your bed? Like an AR pistol, a couple of mags, a flashlight and maybe a full sized 1911 with a couple of mags, for example.
Looking for some DIY ideas if anyone has anything.
My general thought is to build a box that fits under the bed with a pull out drawer that can be locked or a box on wheels that locks. I'll have to figure out a way to attach whatever it is to the bed frame (I don't want to mess up the hardwood floors) so a thief couldn't just take the whole box and figure out how to open it later. With enough time, they'll be able to get it but I'd like to make it as difficult and noisy as possible for them (noise could set off the alarm if they somehow got in without setting it off).
