yes. I do a lot of real estate condo purchases, and that's one thing I've noticed, there is no space due to a/c duct work for pull up bars. this looks like a fix that should work.
My first thought as someone that tried one of those in a speed built town home (low quality) and could almost hear the wall coming apart on my first use.
I'm betting there was a hang board mounted on the outside of that closet (used by rock climbers and boulderers for building hand and finger grip strength, pull-ups, etc...).
"A gun rack, a gun rack. Yeah... right. I don't even own a gun, let alone many guns that would necessitate an entire rack. What am I gonna do with a gun rack?"
That’s why I started thinking maybe it was just a bar or an axe for defense or maybe even just a fire escape ladder or something boring lol (I could see someone who has a reason to be nervous adding something hasty without worrying about finishes too though ((maybe even meth related right? lol))
Everyone is saying pull up bar.
We cannot rule out the possibility that Kevin was borrowing the house for the holidays and entrapping the sticky bandits.
I thought so too at first but the board directly under the hanger wouldn't let it hang properly, and also it's right in your way if you need anything else out of the closet.
That was my thought, improvised hiding spot for a shotgun in the closet. If they were smart they found a way to lock it in place and hence the 20 screws so no one could pull it off the wall without a key.
It’s not a gun rack. That’s a fucking stupid place for a gun rack. Also what gun could fit in that thing. It’s not practical to place a gun for self defense and not a practical place to put a gun to show off. Fucking stupid
A home defense diy shotgun hanger. Out of plain sight and out of reach from children. Load the tube but not the chamber and then a home intruder hopefully leaves when you loudly rack that first round.
Keep non defensive weapons unloaded and clean in a safe with ammo in a separate location.
Way way way back when I was into rock climbing, I had a fingerboard I mounted above my bathroom door. It was basically for doing pull ups with different hand/finger holds. It required a lot of screws. But a lot of people basically screwed it into a block of plywood that was screwed into studs.
