A storage system for securing a weapon or valuable item. The storage system has an outer housing assembly including an elongated housing, an arcuate housing door and a handle assembly. The elongated housing has a non-rotatable curved inner structure. The handle assembly rotates the arcuate housing door concentrically about a longitudinal axis and partially within and adjacent to the non-rotatable curved inner structure. A rotational pivot of the handle assembly is aligned with the longitudinal axis and rotates the arcuate housing door about the longitudinal axis between a closed position that prevents access to an internal compartment within the elongated housing, and an open position that provides an access opening of approximately 180 degrees about the longitudinal axis into the internal compartment within the elongated housing.
