Make sure you are able to open the door fully with the safe in that corner. Different brands and hinges have different needs for the swing.

Bass Pro in Foxboro.
Tractor supply Ipswich has the Winchester TS-15 (24" wide). Note that the TS-22 mentioned by FrankNA above is 30" wide; according to the TSC catalog, it's also there.
The last time I was in, they had a bunch of safes (don't know how many that means) in a cluster in the middle of the store.
This! Got both my safes there for great deals.

They all have about the same selection. Mostly the Winchester brand. If you are just looking for a basic safe and are not too fussy they'll have what you need for less than anyone else.
The capacity ratings on gun safes has to be done by the same people who rate tent capacities. Have you ever tried to camp with 4 people in a 4 man tent?
However I have come up with a handle formula for both. Take the capacity claimed divide by two then subtract 1. Therefore a 12 rifle safe will actually comfortably accommodate 5 rifles.![[smile]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/001.gif "Smile [smile]")

I was just at TS Ipswich. They now have only 4 on display - The Winchester TS-15 and TS-22, and 2 Cannons (the 80 and probably the 64).

Just my opinion, but if you're buying a Chinese built safe at a box store you're only buying the illusion of security. It's great to keep your kids out, but that's all. If that's all you're trying to do, buy a locking steel cabinet. If you want a real safe, I can't recommend Eastern Security Safe Company enough.

Were you charged with something, or did you sue?
If they had a warrant you would have no choice. If they did not have a warrant and you refused, the appropriate procedure would be for them to secure the scene to prevent tampering while they got an almost always issued warrant.
Was it a warrant search, a hot pursuit/exigent circumstances entry or badge immunity entry?

I just purchased a big boy safe at eastern security in mendon mass they claim to be the largest gun safe dealer in New England! They have tons of safes on sale there. Here's some photos for reference I'm 6' 5" The sad part is that i only have a couple guns and that holds over 50... i am easily persuaded on the bigger models.

A metric s-load. They also deliver from their inventory, it's not a "look at it here and we will add our profit to a drop shipper's price" operation.
They are not Walmart - they do not have a business goal of driving down prices. You will find them competitive on pricing, but unlikely to be a better deal. Their delivery prices are steep, but they are good and make it look easy. The combo change fee for a mechanical lock ($50) is excessive for 10 minutes of work.
Finally, unlike some vendors, they understand there is no MA sales tax on gun safes.

That is all they have there. "Safes and safe accessories" said in my best Hank Hill voice

How many times was Eastern mentioned in this thread? You will not find more gun safes on display in any store that I'm aware of. Period. End of story.

You wrote safe. Did you really mean a sheet metal box with a lock or two? Are you looking for fire protection of just meeting the minimum requirements for the storage laws?
