I still love my 12 gun walnut gun cabinet with glass doors. AInt no one gonna walk off with it and you have to destroy it to get in if its locked. Looks a lot better setting in the den that a huge steel box. All the rest of the stuff is locked up in the reloading room in the basement.
What am I missing with the whole “gun safe” thing?
I know a guy with safes that have paint jobs that must have cost hundreds of $$. It’s no fun moving several hundred pounds of safe, snd worrying about the paint.
Some states have criminal liability if you haven’t stored your guns properly, and an under aged kid gets one. Or civilly, you ‘let’ a criminal get your gun and he did damage. Like suing Remington.
Calif has a list of approved gun safes that meet their requirements. That doesn’t make them burglar proof, it just means you kept kids out of your guns (if you lock it).
Gun Safes are to protect you from law enforcement and prosecutors.
