1300 lbs just for the frame of the bed?
Im not sure how many floors could hold that + the wieght of the guns/ammo, mattress, husband, wife, and dog.
Gotta add it all up:
Bed Frame = 1300 lbs
Tempur Pedic Mattress = 75 lbs
Guns = 100 lbs
Ammo = 25 lbs
Husband = 180 lbs
Dog = 50 lbs
Wife = 110 - 450 lbs ( depending on what your taste is )
I just dont see my floor being strong enough for that unless we sleep in the basement. Cool idea though.

This is nowhere near as good as my "gun/defense coffin" design.

I think the best way to keep a gun close is to get a little biometric box, slide it under the bed and achor it to the floor with a security cable.
If you hear a "bump" in the night, simply lean over, slide out the box, open it and your good to go.
Sorry, but fingerprint readers suck.
Sorry, but fingerprint readers suck. You'll find that out once you get licensed and go to use MIRCS for the first time.
I would never trust a life saving device to a biometric lock. Murphys law says it will fail when you need it to work the most.

I've always wondered why there aren't more Simplex-style safes/lockboxes/etc. around for guns.+1 - have never had biometric stuff work well...
I've got the winchester ev600 under my bed - keypad and key override

No electronics, no key, easy to use even in the dark, resettable, and many more combinations than a multi-dial style combination lock.
I really want a couple of them in padlock size, one integrated into a safe/cabinet, and one in a small box w/ a cable that I can either leave under the bed or bring in a vehicle with me, I just haven't been able to find any.
I'm not sure on the terminology ("WM"?) but if it's not possible, it's certainly possible to have someone weld you up a box.I havent been able to find any either. Do you think it would be possible to take a WM box with key and "retro fit" one of the simplex locks into it?

'Course, I can't find simplex padlocks either, which is more of a problem.
D'oh. I should have picked that up.dagwag77 said:Walmart = WM.
If you could go with something not recessed, you might be able to go with something like a standard cabinet or door lock like many of the ones here.dagwag77 said:edit: I wasnt thinking padlock, but more like recessed cabinet simplex lock

It's not going to stop a thief (they'll just take the box with them and break into it at their convenience) but it will comply with the MA storage laws. Simplex lock, quick to open, and you can store a couple handguns in there loaded and ready to go.
Nice box, and great find exodious! The only problem is how would I manage to open that if it was under my bed?
