OK, guys. Here's the deal. I've been whining and moping around the house for a couple months about how my wife gets new this and that without me grousing. All I want is a teensy-eensy new (to me) CCW-able pistol. My whining has paid off the wife has given me a green light to get a new gun.
...Sort of...
She says before I can buy a new gun, she wants me to buy a gun safe. (FYI: I keep mine in my bedroom closet, up on shelves (except for my long-guns) with ammo stored separately (i.e. no loaded guns).) Good grief...there goes my gun money. From what I've seen, safes are $300+. If she insists on them all being locked up in a safe, I would need one to hold about 5 long guns and three (soon to be 4) pistols.
So, I need recommendations. Machavelli would be proud of me. What I want is a box that locks and holds my guns. That's all. They aren't collectors, so I am not worried about fire retardant. I don't need it to do my laundry, darn my my socks, or bake a cake. Just lock. That's all the boss - I mean, my wife - wants.
I'm going to counter-offer if I get a small lockable fire-box type safe and lock up the ammo in there and then get a couple more gun locks for securing the guns. If that doesn't work, I'm even thinking about making one out of 1x6s - sort of a long, skinny foot locker.
Any other ideas???
