Abstract
Embodiments described herein disclose a cylindrical housing with a compartment defining a section of the housing. The cylindrical housing being configured to rotate around an axle disposed at the center of the cylindrical housing. Embodiments may also include a frame disposed along a curved surface of the cylindrical housing configured to allow access to the compartment within an access portion, wherein the access portion projects the frame from a center of the curved surface towards an edge of the cylindrical housing.

A gun storage case comprising:
- a cylindrical housing being configured to rotate around an axle disposed at the center of the cylindrical housing;
- a compartment defining a section of the cylindrical housing configured to house a gun,
- a door being convex in shape coupled to the compartment configured to open to expose the compartment, wherein if the door is in an open position a handle of the gun extends past a sidewall of the housing, and if the door is in a closed position the handle of the gun is covered by the door.
- a tray configured to be inserted and removed from the compartment and to receive the gun, the tray being shaped substantially similar to the compartment;
- a lock receiving mechanism disposed on the cylindrical housing;
- a plurality of foam pieces configured to custom fit the shape of the tray to the gun;
- a frame disposed along a curved surface of the cylindrical housing configured to support the housing;
- and
- an access portion configured to project from a position on the curved surface towards an edge of the cylindrical housing, the access portion being at least a length of the door and including a locking mechanism disposed on the cylindrical housing configured to couple with the lock receiving mechanism to misalign the compartment with the access portion and to stop the cylindrical housing from being rotated into a position where the door can be opened.
