In my country, firearms must be stored securely. I dont know a good safe brand that is also inexpensive. That is my primary interest.

Do you burgers just hide your guns under your floorboards?

The best way to keep someone from stealing your guns is not letting anyone know you have them.

Check these things, and if the "safe" has them all, you should be ok.

>Solid plate door, not composite

Composites looks thicker but are actually very thin sheets of steel wrapped around fire board to give the appearance of a thick strong door

>Mechanical lock

Not as convenient as electric but less chance of not being able to get into safe due to electronic lock failing

>Recessed door

Helps prevent against pry attacks.

All these things are only relevant if you bolt the safe down. Make sure that you do. Also I would try to place the safe somewhere where the walls would be hard to get to and provide less leverage and access from manual and power tools. Remember that a gun safe is only a timed deterrent, given enough time any safe can be gotten into. Best to also have alarm in house to allow less time to access safe.

i have a safe about the same size as the one in your pic made by Winchester that I store all my long guns in. My two pistols are in my bedroom nightstand and home office though.

Don't use cable locks though since gunsafe guns are secure and don't want to mess around with a lock on my pistols if I ever needed to use them

I don't think you understand. It is a criminal offense not to store a firearms safely in my country. Also, all guns must be registered. I understand Americans can keep their guns in many places, but for those of us who do not have this privilege, what are our options?

Thank you, this is good advice. You guys seem to know your stuff.

>>34167918
No I have a safe for my guns and a locking cabinet for ammo/accessories.
But then again I have 26ish guns and I'd rather not have them hidden around my house.

security is an illusion. safes will cook your guns in the event of a fire. yes even fire resistant ones.

where you from? New Zealand?

My boss is from NZ and he told me that it's required by law to have firearms secured in one safe and ammo secured in another safe in separate room.Also said the authorities could come at anytime to check that you are compliant. He was completely ok with that system too and said the US needs to adopt a similar system.

Was the most cucked thing I had heard of and I live in California.

That sounds like a similar system to us. As opposed to America, where guns are a right, here, guns are a privilege. The best we can do is exercise our options legally.

In my opinion, I think people should undergo a basic aptitude test to ensure you are safe with a gun, but since your country was founded with the 2nd amendment, I can understand why Americans don't want the system to be changed

Like I said I live in California and I had to take a gun safety test to purchase handguns, and the certificate you receive allows you to purchase guns for a certain number of years before you need to retake. ( think this has now been expanded for long guns as well i believe, but it's been years since I bought my last gun).

With that being said I'm kinda torn, on one hand I believe all law abiding citizens should be allowed to own a firearm without these hoops, but on the other hand if you failed that test you are borderline retarded and should probably be culled.

Reminder that a hidden compartment will protect guns from theft infinitely better than a $20 000 safe.
