Hello folks,
I tried to puzzle out where to post this question about gun safes, and concluded this was a good a place as any. None of the "Tools and Technologies" forums seemed on point. Moderators, please move this to wherever you think best.
Anyway. I recently started shooting and acquiring guns, and get the feeling I will be part of this pastime for years to come. I hide and lock my guns whenever I leave the house, but it's time to be fully responsible and get a good gun safe.
When I go to the gun store and browse, all I see are the big, cabinet-sized, full-blown Browning safes. They look awesome, but I just don't have that big a collection. Right now I have only two handguns and one long gun!
I have law school loans to pay off, so my ability to acquire new firearms is bounded. (Indeed, the anticipated cost of a good safe is one of those bounds.) Looking to the future, I think a total collection of three long guns and six handguns is a reasonable upper limit for the next several years.
What are some good fireproof safes that would fit a collection of that size? How much should I expect to spend?
Many thanks. Any other, random advice about secure storage would also be appreciated.
