I am considering buying a bottom rung Liberty Safe on sale at Scheels this weekend.
So my question is:
Is a budget safe better than no safe? Or is it a one stop shop for the criminals?
A bit of background:
I am young, dumb, and broke. I live in a rental house, but have plans to move in a few years. I live in a respectably sized city. I am the proud new member of the local gun club and plan on some light local competitions. To do so, I will remove some of my “fun-er” guns from my fathers nice safe in a rural area and be bringing them to reside with me in urban-land.
My thoughts:
One day I plan on buying a large expensive safe that gets placed, bolted down, and never moved again. I don’t really want to spend alot of money on a hold-over safe. But. If you spend the money might as well get something worth buying. Is a Liberty Centurion 24 worth buying? In all honesty I probably could get away with a smaller safe but….the insides of guns safes always seem to shrink and the 24 gun bumps the fire rating up an extra 10 minutes. I have plans to hide this safe away from the few guests I have and more importantly away from areas the handyman will ever be in. But to do so requires me to go up 2 flights of stairs. (Split levels are satan’s work) So an entry level safe is small enough and “light” enough for me to manhandle up some stairs on a good dolly. Being a rental I can’t bolt this safe down. It will be free standing.
Is an entry level safe like this worth having? Or is it just a convenient place to put all your goodies so the thief’s don’t have to rummage through your house?
Thanks for the feedback.
