If you can't afford a safe, you can't afford a gun.

i agree! any safe is good!

I am sorry, this would not be "difficult to break into". A teenager could get into that with a simple pry bar. That's just a thin steel cabinet with some simple locks on it, that rely on that same thin steel. Please do not consider that thief proof even for a minute.

Many years ago I bought a Homak cabinet ($89 @ Turners) and added a garage door bolt to it with carriage bolts, then secured it to the sidewall of my bedroom closet by using lag bolts into studs from the inside. It would be pretty difficult to break into, requiring defeating the stock cylinder locks, plus the large Masterlock on the bolt. Has 5 rifles and 6 handguns in it, with room for a couple more.

Speaking of safes I finally received mine a while back. The door alone weighs around 200lbs.

The added 82-84 hardness plates will eat most tools.

Of course,
a safe also puts all of your guns in a nice little box
for someone coming in your house to get them

If you post a non sequitur, it does not help your cause.

Of course, that's why banks, jewelry stores, etc NEVER lock up small, easy to carry valuables....

Much better to hide them in the sock drawer, no one looks there.

[rugershooter]

Just checked both of mine. Neither has been compromised. Of course, they exist under several layers of responsible security.

It is a gun owner's responsibility to secure his firearms.

Define "secure".

That's my new mantra. If you lock up your guns, no one will steal them. If no one steals them they won't be used in crimes. Less crimes with guns means less bad press. Less bad press means we get left alone. When I am at home, my firearms are accessible. When we go to work in the morning or go away for the weekend they are locked in the safe. I wouldn't mind seeing an ad campaign by the NRA, the manufacturers and maybe even the government stressing the importance of gun safes. They do get expensive but I think in this day and age they are a necessity and would solve a lot of problems.

Lol...Yeah no thief has EVER stolen a safe full of guns EVER! lmao

I don't think they are a necessity, my guns are in a drawer for easy access. If you put your guns away and pull them out every night it would be a big hassle. What happens when you come home to tired to get the guns out?

I have paid big money for a burglary alarm that is monitored, when I am not home the alarm would go off and my alarm is very loud and audible and monitored. Why do I wanna pay more money to have a gun safe in the house?
