Impulse buy - Costco gun safe

[Cokebottle]

Congratulations on owning a safe. I still know some people who keep their guns under their beds. There's no reason to be critical of someone trying to do the right thing.

This.

ANY safe is better than no safe.

A better safe is better than a cheap safe, but until you start getting into half-ton $2500+ vaults, all you have is a Residential Security Container.

It's better than nothing, and if you are careful, it is not likely to ever be needed. I did not have guns in my home (that anyone knew about other than my wife) until after our daughter moved out, because we could not trust her and her friends.

14 guns which translates to 6 in reality

or 20 if you use rifle socks and rifle rods

Not a bad safe to start with. But your going to upgrade sooner or later. When you do just use this one as ammo storage.

good for you for getting something other than a hollowed book or storing your firearms under the mattress.

The price was right - good CA storage box

Haven't seen the screw driver trick on these. The real deal is when they are occasionally 299. Ironically the interior is much nicer than the 500 dollar Canon safe.

I have been looking at the Canon everytime I go. Don't think I can pass it up for that size/price.

Feels so cheap though. It's literally particle board with some fuzz for the entire interior and the side walls flex just by pushing with your hand. And that's coming from someone that works for costco. That said a few of my managers put that one hidden in their garage.

I had chosen a winchester from tractor supply that's smaller and $150 more previously. Granted it is nicer, but I don't know if the interior of the safe is worth more $$ for less storage.

Either way it's better than what I have. No gun safe.

The absolute top elements of security revolve around keeping your guns a secret and hiding the safe in the house.

Burglars hit houses where they expect goodies. No goodies no robbery.

Untrue. Every time I got robbed, nobody knew what I had.

Very true. Scoped bolt action rifles take up twice as much room as a shotgun or lever rifle.

Great start bolt it down.
