Yeah, I wouldnt suggest merely hiding it. Kids have a knack for being able to find things. Lock it up... A combination safe might be good because it doesnt require looking for a key if there is an emergency, and assuming you dont tell the kids the combination, they cant get into it.
If you can't do that, at least seperate the guns and the ammunition. They dont have to be on opposite ends of the house, but at least keeping them seperate is a *little* bit safer than leaving a gun, ready to shoot, to be found by your kids.
Really, just lock it up somewhere safe, close, and fast to get to/into.
