Stack-on safes?

[50caliberguy]

Are stack-on safes any good? A local gun store has a gsd-419 for $580.

thanks

They work for keeping friends and family members out but arent very good at being break-in proof. And over $400 is a little much for a stack on or sentry

Like i said in the other post, (but i'll say it in a different way) stack on does not make safes, they make lockable cabinets that the CA DOJ approves of.

Both Safes and Cabinets

Stack-on has these safes:

and these cabinets

Although the GS-8 and GS-10 only has the 3 live bolts, the GS-416 has the bolts on the top and bottom as well.

I like my 2 stack-on safes. I use the "burglar bomb" in all of them, bolted to the floor and wall too. I get them when K-Mart "damages" them so a 14 gun safe comes to $100.

I stand corrected. I'm in the market for a safe too, and had not even noticed stack on makes real safes. Anyone out there have one?

Pardon my ignorance, but what is a "burglar bomb" and where do I get one?

I was reading the website and it says the burglar bomb is triggered by a tripline. So, how do you yourself open your safe door and not trigger the tripline?

[fal_762x51]

Lets say someone, pulled a certain gun out from the safe, its attached to that. Also, if they try to move the safe, its going off.

Just bought a Sentinel 14-Gun safe/cabinet (sheet metal) for $50 at wallmart. They had a clearance from $149 to $89. I then negotiated with the manager to let me have it for $50 since there was a dent in it. I then came home, fixed the dent and it's all good now. It was in the SIMI valley store.

Ok, you beat me.

hmmmm I'm thinking of getting one of those Repulars from stopcrime.com for my room with the safe.

I'm don't think the burglar bomb is legal. First of all, if I'm reading the law correctly...

12403.7.
(e)(1) No person shall purchase, possess, or use any tear gas weapon that expels a projectile, or that expels the tear gas by any method other than an aerosol spray, or that contains more than 2.5 ounces net weight of aerosol spray.

And also

(g) Any person who uses tear gas or tear gas weapons except in self-defense is guilty of a public offense and is punishable by imprisonment in a state prison for 16 months, or two or three years or in a county jail not to exceed one year or by a fine not to exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000), or by both the fine and imprisonment, except that if the use is against a peace officer...
