safe/locker/homebuilt/whatever?

[Coyote33]

I just wanted to start this thread to get it out of the gun show one.


1. I am wondering what type of gun cabinet to get for a couple rifles/shotguns and several pistols.

2. Also wondering where to go. Walmart/Dick's/Spag's/Gun Shop/other?

I figure I have homeowner's insurance, so fire isn't a big worry, and therefore a heavy safe isn't necessary. Anything is better than a bunch of cable locks and a locked toolbox. This is probably to go in a closet. I would really like to put in the basement, but moisture is a concern. In the attic, heat is a concern.

3. What do other people do?

4. Another thought is to build something myself out of plywood with angle iron and hinges/hasps. One possibility is something under cellar stairs but off the floor. Another is a pulldown type of thing between floor joists in cellar ceiling. Has anyone done anything like this?

5. Also, do people store ammo with guns or not?

Thanks.

My family has a summer place on a small lake in Maine. I've thought about putting a storage unit under the floor in the living room (covered by the large braided rug). A simple trap door leading to a box between the joists just big enough to hold one of the long tupperware style "under the bed" storage boxes.
