So I bought my first house just about a year ago, and now that I'm getting settled, I'm starting to plan out what I am going to do for a "gun room" and a place to keep a safe.
I plan on keeping a very "small" safe in my bedroom, basically just big enough to keep home defense items in. However I need to get a safe large enough to keep all my other firearms, ammunition and valuables in. Here's my problem however, I dont have anywhere to put it, and I really want to get all my guns from my parents place. I have come up with really only one reasonable solution for a place to put it and I dont know how I feel about it.
Out behind my house is a reasonable sized "garage" that I plan on rewiring, insulating and totally doing over. I also will be putting a security system in it independent of the house. It sits literally all of 30ft maybe 40 max off the back of my house, but I dont know if I feel "safe" with it not being in the house. The front you see in the picture will all be concrete block with a security door and thats it. There are no windows or other entries on the building. Would you do this if it was your only option?
Heres the view from my back door, it looks much farther than it actually is
