Safes are for guns. Closets, garages, and workshops are for ammo.

Cant beat that argument

Wait untill you start reloading...

Get a job box, the 4ft long one I got holds 42 ammo cans, 14 cans per row 3 rows high. I got a Ridgid one from Home Depot. I'm going to seal it up with some silicone and it comes with weather stripping on the lid already.
If I had to do it again I would get one from Lowe's it's dark blue vs that bright orange doesn't come with weather stripping but TBH the home Depot weather stripping sucks.

Not So, I acquired a safe that a locksmith had hacked up to get it open and I rehabed it into a fancy ammo box.

Ammo cans in a 20 foot shipping container. Got tired of stubbing my toe's on the cans under the work bench, so it now lives out there where the bike spends the winter and the camping/emergency gear all in one spot (finally) nice and secure.

I just bought a couple on back Friday just for ammo on sale 70% off at Dicks jfor $399. Great safes for the price.

Ammo cans on pallet racks out in the shed. I was concerned about collapsing the floor in the house, so I moved it out there.

Shed is secured with locks, alarms and video surveillance. So far, so good.

I had a Lowes $60 discount coupon on a $400 purchase. I ordered this for $399 and bought a bottle of water to put me over $400 so I got $60 off and now this box sits in my garage. This thing holds ALOT of food...

I've been using metal cabinets. They're stout and lockable and the shelving makes accessing your ammo much easier as opposed to moving stacks of cans.

Wish I had room for the 60 inch box. Had to go with 48 since the garage is already getting crowded. Home Depot had a nice 60 inch box too for 399 that I probably could have got a deal on because it had a dent in the front but wasn't meant to be.
For anyone in the Ventura County area it's probably still at the Oxnard Home Depot

I have a metal banking cabinet with 1/4" aluminum siding and doors.

I also bought one of these job boxes to store ammo. I think the Lowes boxes have a nicer, glossy blue finish and I like the double padlock system. The orange ones from Home Depot are a dull bright orange and the finish seems to scratch easy. They also seem to be handled poorly at the stores. Most of the ones I saw were dented. Both boxes come in three sizes I believe. I bought the smaller one and it still holds a good amount of ammo. I throw a blanket over it and it serves as a part time bench
