Has this been answered to your satisfaction yet? :~)
There are times, in life, when the need to protect the guns from a tragedy involving kids or visitors outweighs the need for immediate access. We don't have kids, but when kids come over to visit, we have to make the guns safe.
And fire. Dont forget fire/floods.
I'm in the market for a safe that can also hold one or two rifles along with my other handguns and all my important documents (homeowners insurance, title, will, passports, jewelry while on vacation, etc.) to protect from fire and theft.
Anyone have any experience with a particular brand of safe they would like to share? Or are they all pretty much the same thing?
