Gun safety. Safe, cable or trigger lock? What do you use?

[shrapmetal]

ok here is my problem. i live in a mobile home. door is only 30" wide and a real heavy safe will sink into my floor. i need to store a lot of guns 50+. any suggestions? i was thinking one of those modular jobs has anyone seen one in person? plan be is build a concrete bunker attached to the house but thats big money.

get serveral of the "safes" available at wallyworld and bolt 'em to the wall and floor and together. Not a Liberty safe, but they won't walk off.

If you want fire protection, thats going to require the big boys.

My cousin lives in a mobil home and has a good size safe. its about 25"-30" deep and about 3' across 6' high or so, they had to take the door off to get it inside the house. Its a pretty beefy safe

he reinforced his floor with a piece of 3/4" steel, He painted it and then put it under the carpet. then put the safe on top of it. Its probably about a foot larger than the safe in every direction except the back which is probably 8" or so, and it sits on top of one of the main support beams of the mobile home in his living room
Its been there since we were seniors in HS so 12-13 years with no issues. I remember it took us a full day to get it all set up, it was a bitch. But it isnt goin anywhere.

Both my rifle i keep in there soft cases. Sometimes I put them in the locker, sometimes I leave them under my desk. No kids have ever been in my house. I am not worried.

My long guns are in a closet in thier soft cases, unlocked.

The glock is loaded in it's holster right next to the bed.

I have no kids and only a cat.



If the cat figures out how to operate the glock, an ND will be the least of my worries.

I used to have one of those sheet metal gun lockers that walmart sells but the with all the law suits and idiots running around I decided better "safe" than sorry.

I bought a Liberty safe and keep everything in there. Which sucks by the way because I also used to have a Trapdoor and 2 Sharps rifles out on display. They are great to look at and visitors used to get a kick out of seeing them. But in todays world it just isn't worth the risk of some asshat stealing them and me getting sued.

I picked up a Sentry combo safe on sale at Gart's. It's not Fort Knox, but some jackass won't be able to just gather them up if I'm not home. I can keep a few handy to me without having to worry about kids, but the rest of the collection is locked away, yet ready to go if need be.

You really don't want to know how quick one of those Sentry safes will come open. :roll: Karl.

I could get it open with a sledge hammer. I don't own a sledge hammer so they'll have to bring their own, preferrably with a silencer on it.

Besides, there were mentions of protecting your guns with a "fire-proof" safe and you had to pick on me? [poke]

I guess you missed me.
