One of the main issues that a lot of firearms users face is where to store their firearms and even where to hang their body Armor. The Gunhanger, first seen at ShotShow 2023 solves both of those issues with a convenient and hidden way to store your firearms in your closet and an easy way to throw your body armor into the closet without damaging it.
Gunhanger was conceived simply by realizing that a great number of folks have a shotgun leaned up against a closet wall for quick access. The downside of storing a firearm in such a way is that it can easily be…disturbed or discovered”. -Gunhanger
What is the Gunhanger?
The Gunhanger is a simple closet hanger with a long rod bolted onto it. The rod and hooks allow you to attach a firearm onto the rod, thus essentially “hanging it in their closet”. The rod can hold both rifles and pistols with different spacers and attachments. After the guns are placed, you can simply drape a jacket for the hanger and now it looks like there is a simple coat hanging up in the closet.
The pistols are held on by a rod-and-knob type of attachment. Simply place the handgun barrel onto the rod. The knob is used to loosen and unloosen the attachment piece to move it where you want it on the hanger. Long guns are held on by a cup-type holder on the bottom of the hanger for the stock, and an open holder on the top of the hanger holds the barrel of the gun.
Notice that both a rifle and handguns can be hung on the gunhanger. Each of these accessories that hold the weapon to the rod can be placed wherever you see fit.
Options for Body Armor
The uses for this thing go from hanging firearms to hanging body armor. Many people struggle with figuring out how to store their body armor, not wanting to bend it or damage it. Armor can get heavy especially with the plates still inside. Some armor owners make their own makeshift hanger with wood creating an almost cross-like wood post. With Gunhanger simply hang your armor up as you would a coat and it’ll hang safely without losing its shape.
Just like any coat hanger, the Gunhanger can be used to hang body armor as well. Most people throw their body armor on the floor or lean it against the wall, which can cause the armor to lose its shape. Hanging it up on a strong hanger like the Gunhanger causes no deformation to the armor.

From the Company
We spoke to the Company at Shot Show 2023. They stated that LE agencies really appreciate this product due to having an easy way to hang their armor. Gunowners have appreciated being able to keep their firearm in the front closet without freaking out their neighbors. They bolt the firearm to the hanger, throw a coat over it, and Gunhanger still allows them to have safe and easy access to their gun in times of need.
It’s worth it to note that even after Shot the owner of Gunhanger actually called me and followed up asking if I had any other questions or needs. That is true customer service.

if you are scared stay home or just check in.
You talking to me or Hillbilly?
If to me I served my country in the military and protecting citizens from the criminals running the streets as LEO for 37 years. Under fire numerous times, don’t think I’m scared. Did my part have you?
Even though Hillbilly doesn’t agree because of being uninformed, it is a great idea, especially with all the home invasions and criminals running loose now. Be a survivor not a victim.
Ya hillbily, put it in a safe so when ANTIFA comes to your house unexpectedly, you ask them To wait patiently while you try remember your combination to get into your safe and protect yourself. Here’s an idea, teach your kids gun safety and to keep their hands off. obviously you have NEVER had to defend yourself. Try joining the military or being in law enforcement. This is the problem today is poor parenting that began years ago. Hillbilly you were born to be a victim and will be one day. I’ve been under fire, have you?
Oh That will be a nice mix when childrens are snooping around… Let’s just hang a weapon in the closet. How about putting it in a safe ?
