My son who is 17 months now gets into everything!! Thus why I have not been on here as much as before. But I use to just keep my 870 leaned up against the wall and when he started walking its been in the safe. Talking to a friend thus weekend we were discussing options to store a HD shotty that is easily accessible but out of his reach.

I was just thinking of a horizontal shelf that I can put it on that's is about the height of a fireplace mantel. Once he gets old ebough he will be taught about gun safety. We don't have any strangers in the house like sitters or anything so locked is not an issue.

So what are you responsible dads using?
