Typical for around here.
At least you have a sock "drawer."
I've got a closet with large pull-out trays, and a tray for my white,
black and "other" socks. Not a monstrosity of my making.
In the drawer to the right of my desk, I have the following:
55 different kinds of computer/camera/tape record connect wires
a half dozen different airline frequent flyer cards, some for airlines
that no longer exist
earphones
two different tripod heads and several different quick release plates
three boxes of staples
a bic lighter
three boxes of speer golddots
various receipts I need to keep
In the drawer to the left of my desk, I have the following:

In my sock drawer I keep my Plastmo compass, my Standard Horizon VHF, my
Garmin GPS, old Sony Watchman and various AC charging cords.
Seemed like a good safe place.
(unclassified)
In the drawer to the left of my desk sits a
9mm Sig semi-auto long barrel handgun. It is not loaded.
A fully loaded 19-round mag is carefully hidden nearby.
I can slap the mag into the handgun and rack the slide pretty damned quick.
Naturally, if there are kids in the house, the handgun and mag go in the
safe.

You wouldn't lock firearms in a safe if there are kids around?
Well, I do.
Or are you upset because I have revealed the "hidden" location of a weapon?
Well, you can't just "open" that drawer.
Besides, who here is going to break into my house and get his head shot
clean off?
