Anyway, at SMU I keep the silly looking toy guns and some small knives in hand prop storage. Everything else gets locked up in the armory, which is far away from any other prop storage. There is pegboard on the walls of the armory where the few swords we own and our rifles are stored. Some smaller handguns are hung as well.

There is also a footlocker on the floor where more handguns are stored.

Last season we purchased gun cabinets for 2 of our 3 theatres so when a weapon is used in a show it can be secured in the cabinet. Previously I think they would just make wooden boxes and lock it with a pad lock.
