Very Important:
1. No fireproof safes, you wouldnt want the guns after the steam is released. Fireproof safes are for paper (think cash) and jewelry (think things that can get soaked from the moisture release). Anybody tells you differently hasnt been through a fire. See #5.
2. Absolutely no electronic locks, none, zero. Mechanical only and be prepared to set your own combination.
3. Its all about weight and strength. Figure on a minimum purchase of $2,500.
4. Off the floor. Be prepared to establish a hard pad (concrete) to get the safe off the floor at least 4 inches.
5. On a second floor? Wood construction? Not on an outside wall? Well, your not well located at all. First floor, on concrete, outside wall is best.
