.22LR
Now that I have a toddler around the house I couldn't simply keep my Mossberg sitting next to the bed. As I have a rather large headboard I had an idea. I bought some mounts from gungrabber.com then made some simple brackets to turn it sideways so I could simply stand up and grab it from behind the headboard. This gets the gun about 3' off the ground and secures it relatively well from the kiddo.
I used a large piece of L shaped aluminum I had on hand for the top then drilled and counterbored it (so I didn't scrape the gun when pulling it out). For the bottom I used a smaller piece of steel, drilling several mounting holes in it and bending it 90 deg.
Works great, very well hidden but still quick to deploy.
I'll be ordering another set soon for my wife's gun as well.
