Recently I saw a post that mentioned a CA approved gun cabinet, it wasn't the thread topic, it was just an excerpt from someones reply and it caught my attention.
For my primary gun storage I use a beefed up gun cabinet bolted to the wall in a closet. I want a proper safe but I keep spending my money on ammo. The cabinet is somewhat difficult to access, so I keep my primary HD gun elsewhere. My HD choice changes often but for now I like the idea of my 9mm carbine. It is more difficult to stow away in the bedroom than a handgun.
My storage solution was to get a plain looking IKEA cabinet, bolt it up high on the wall and add a cabinet lock to the door. Its by no means high security, but it would take a pry bar and a little effort to breech. The idea is prevent access by children (I dont have any), the house cleaner, and give a thief one more layer of security to bypass while keeping my access relatively easy.
If somebody broke into my homemade cabinet, accessed my weapon, hurt themselves or others, would I be on the hook because its not a UL listed cabinet?
I did see there is a place to post safe topics but it doesn't look like anybody looks at it..
