Hi all,
My wife and I are moving into an apartment where space is limited. I need a solution as far as storing my firearms. A safe would likely be impossible, and even a stack-on metal cabinet (which I have been using in our current dwelling) would be impractical.
I have been considering a wooden chest, such as a cedar-lined footlocker type of chest. They are much more aesthetically pleasing and nondescript than a metal gun locker (remember I have a wife to keep happy). I know it's not very secure at all, but we have no children yet to worry about, and im certain a padlocked chest is better than just having loose guns under the bed. I would of course upgrade to a more secure solution down the road, but I need a solution for the meantime.
My main concern is...will the wood on the inside of the chest retain moisture, possibly affecting the guns? I don't want to have to worry about corrosion issues.
Does anyone else have any other ideas??? Thank you guys!
