List your return address as somewhere in Mexico.  He'll jump at sending them to you then!

Combine the comments from members and the lists with addresses the papers are posting and you have ripe pickings for thieves.

And this is not suggesting the OP is a thief, just saying it's not a good idea to give specific locations.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

A safe was the best investment I ever made.  Wish I had an electronic lock so it was easier to access though.

May I add.....there are a variety of safes out there.  I know a lot of people that have just a few guns so they want a small safe.  they buy the small sentry or stack on models......THEY ARE JUNK!!!  Invest in a safe that is a minimum of 4-500 lbs then bolt it to the floor (the right way).  Even if you can't fill it with guns you can always put family heirlooms, picture, money, etc, etc, in it.  The small ones mentioned above can be carried away or broken into with very litte effort.  The big ones will last a lifetime and your average thug cannot carry that away, uless they have a forklift.   :twocents: 

OH YEAH....Most people don't know this.   There is no sales tax on safes so calculate tax you were willing to pay and use taht money to bump up a model.

Rifles, bb guns, and bows in the safe.


Shotgun next to the bed and daily carry 9mm that spends the night in the night stand each have one of these on them (without the stupid cable.  It's not needed):
http://www.overstock.com/Sports-Toys/Pro-Lok-Trigger-GunLok-Gun-Lock/4714228/product.html

Both are loaded though the shotgun doesn't have one chambered.


I have an in-wall hand gun safe with a small picture mounted to the door that swings open to hide it.  Whenever I get the money for another 9mm, it will go in there and the safe will be mounted next to the front door so the wife can access it and have a hand on the pistol before she answers the door.
