One of the inexpensive safes, like a Stack-On from WalMart, placed in a closet might be an option.  It's not going to keep your guns safe from a fire or determined thief, but they'll be away from kids and simply curious hands.


I've seen those lightweights. Better than nothing.  If you have a drill and a stud finder you can also drill it into the wall. this will prevent a grab and go type thief from making of with your valuables.

This is what I have as well. Initially I just had the small 8 gun that fit perfectly in the inside of my closet. My gun accumulation expanded and I purchased a 2 door 10 gun with storage on the side. As said these are going to do nothing when it comes to fire but they do a good job of limiting access and providing security. As far as I am concerned its the best affordable way to keep your guns safe from others.

And one more advantage to removing the bolt or trigger mechanism is that even if a thief got your rifle he is not going to be able to hock it, sell it or use it as is and he just might not steal it after all.  ;)
times before with just leather, wool and cotton.

No visitor's go in the sleeping quarter's unless I'm with them. My grand children get treated just like my kids did. Soon as they are interested, start teaching them. My son always asked when he wanted to see a gun and was never told no. He always picked out what ever he wanted and always first checked to be sure it was MTY. Kids aren't unsafe unless you teach them to be. You want a kid getting into something it's not supposed to, hide it and make it mysterious! They will find it and not have a clue other than to experiment!
There's a reason I like dog's more than people

If I owned any guns, I would put my underfed, 120 lb Rottweiler in the room and make it her room.
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............
