Give him a big hand folks, he's going to be here all week, and try the veal.On. A. Wall?
Glad to hear somebody is still doing it. My wife has our walls filled with "art", knickknacks, etc. I thought it would be fair to have something of my own on the wall. Plus I have this large wood rifle display case I would like to move from the gun room into the house to free up gun room space.I rotate firearms which are out on display , so to speak .
I keep 'em out for viewing in my library.
No locks or the like...
And yes I understand that this has its risks and perhaps ain't considered safe or inline with so called "safe storage" laws...
However where I live / have lived...it ain't been a problem or caused any either.
If I lived someplace else....I might do something different...If I had lots of visitors / little kids...I might do different....
As for a firearm over the mantle...
If it is a working fireplace....keeping your firearm on display above , while picturesque...
May dry out the stock...gum up / dry out oil ...as well as get the firearm dirty from fireplace debris.
Dust is also bad for firearms.
As a historic note....
Most homes keep a firearm over the door or by the door , rather than the Hollywood image of over the fireplace.
Speaking here of the classic image of a muzzle loader over a fireplace.

I miss the days of seeing the classic glass fronted display cabinets of firearms.Glad to hear somebody is still doing it.
