arrow32 Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Ok I'm needing another. With a baby on the way and Ashley not wanting guns just laying around like I have now since the cabinet we have is full I'm needing another. Well what I have is a locker but anyway you get the point. What would anyone suggest? Dont want to kill the wallet just something I can lock and will be safer than guns laying around. Thought about just gettin another locker but thought I'd see what yall thought. Would like to have a safe but don't have the money to sink into one right now. Gotta keep momma happy so thinking I should get something.lol be a peace of mind as well once the baby gets older. Things in looking for in this do have a couple pistols that I would like to be able to put in it and not haut have to lay around. Other than that just rifles. Any ideas?

whitetailfreak55 Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 My first question would be how many guns do you Have to put away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrow32 Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Only about 5 or 6 now but there will be more. Planning ahead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bug House Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 I got a Stack-On locker. Wound up with a gift card to Dicks and waited until they went on sale. Got a 10 gun locker for just a few bucks out of pocket. I cram 5 long guns and 2 toy rifles (trying to teach the boy good habits!) and 3 handguns into it. Lag bolted it into the hall closet. I also have a quick access electronic key-pad drawer safe mounted into a secret drawer I built into my bed frame that I made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bug House Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Hopefully some day I'll be able to afford a $5K fire proof safe! To be honest, I try to "Gun-Proof" my kids as much as I try to "Kid-Proof" my guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I try to "Gun-Proof" my kids as much as I try to "Kid-Proof" my guns. Lol yea I will do that. Not sure about the wooden that's what I was taking ideas. Will have to check out the one you guys have said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Hopefully some day I'll be able to afford a $5K fire proof safe! To be honest, I try to "Gun-Proof" my kids as much as I try to "Kid-Proof" my guns. X1000 I don't have a safe either, I put all my guns in the hall closet when the kids were born and kept it locked. As soon as they are a little older you teach them gun safety and then you never have to worry about a thing. I can't understand these stories I read where a parent accidentally left a gun out and the child comes home and curiosity leads to tragedy. Teach them soon and early there are no second chances or do-overs with guns and you can throw the locks away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 yea my dad "gun proofed" me as a little kid and i will to my kids in the future. it's an important step, an imperative one even. thinking about getting a fire and water "proof" Cannon safe after the wedding. i figure i can put my guns and important docs in it. just wondering if i can get it down into the basement. also with somewhat more humidity it might not be best for the e-lock.

wtnhunt Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Wal mart here has a 24 gun cannon fire rated safe for $597. We have a couple wood cabinets and a metal cabinet Cody, for what they are they are ok. Kids need to learn to respect guns early, kids who grow up around guns and the outdoors are not gonna be the ones to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrow32 Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 I completely agree a kid needs to learn about fun safety and they will oce there a little older. I think it's just more of a ok there locked for her than anything. I've told her that once there old enough to understand I'm going to teach them safety and how to shoot or handle a gun. Even if you don't do it you should now how to handle one invade you ever come across one. Just my thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flintlock1776 Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 When we started having kids ( and their friends that come over) I went from the lockable cabinet to a full safe. I got a good deal at an end of season sale at Bass Pro. Fireproof and handy as well for some important family documents (i.e. Birth certificates). I got a large one and that was handy as I added to my collection of guns over the years. If you budget can handle it, think of moving up to a safe. Good luck. Be Safe!

Adjam5 Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 I agree Cody. The Stack on gun cabinets are the most affordable. They keep out tampering hands, curious minds and honest folks. The safe is a bit more security effective and a great investment when you are able to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Be a while before your little one will be crawling Cody, you probably got at least a year before you have to start worrying, may consider saving up til you can get a safe. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
