  maybe it's a suggestion to put it upstairs so we
don't hear it being taken 
in
  those dreadful "my basement flooded" stories

and that's the recommended method as per the rack manual :)
  What can you possibly be doing with the master bedroom
that doesn't

Not a thing *G*
  Sure it has fans, but if you are a proper NRA member,
you have the
 proper ear protection to guard against that. 
(looking in the closet) SKS (tricked
out), M1, Mosin-Nagant... yeah, I
qualify :)
