The white cushion helps minimize sciatica flareups. Guitar, Kemper Profiler, laptop, speakers, and the meds I have to remind myself to take every day.



View from the command center. 47" HD TV, 2.1 Soundbar/Sub sound system, and my safe. Lots of other gear stuff is not visible in either pic but I have everything wired and integrated to function in any possible configuration.

What's in the safe?
It seems like an unusual place to keep it if it's money or other valuables.

You don't need to move much with all that within reach. Almost more of a cockpit than a command center

(A) Gun, money (small bills), a few loaded magazines, and a ton of 9mm rounds - both JHP and FMJ. Went on a bit of a buying spree when I first got the 19 because ammo prices were starting to go through the roof. (Newtown) The fully loaded safe weighs about 65 pounds and is nestled into a very tight space.

(B) Hammer, meet nail.

I feel like my floordrobe is based on the same principle, but seeing as how I've never lived on my own it feels much more intrinsic and lazy.

I have a hard time wrapping my head around that as a Dane (no guns allowed, unless you're a certified hunter). I do have a dull bladed souvenir sword. If I held it by the blade and bashed a burglar with the heavy brass handle, I guess it would qualify as a dangerous weapon.

So our civilian gun owners could wipe the floor with your army?

Actually probably yes. Denmark is a country of 5-6 million people. There's bound to be considerably more civilians with guns in the US than armed soldiers and police in Denmark.

The rules aren't enforced super hard, it's meant as more of a way for the police to keep gangs from using knives in public places. I don't know the exact details of the knife laws, but since they got changed a decade back or so, I'm pretty sure there's few places in Europe with as strict weapon laws as Denmark.

Imagine how out of this world and messed up it seemed then, when a gang member shot a wall with a friggin bazooka a few years back in my city.
