restriced storage question

[hittinghard]

So when and if I get a ATT and buy a hand gun like a 1911 or glock for it to be legal storage it needs to be trigger or cable locked and locked in a safe.

What if I locked it in a old metal ammo can ? Would that be legal ?

Can't afford a decent safe at this time . That's why I asked. Just seeing what other options are .

Thanks.

You can lock it in an opaque container that can not be readily broken into. So in case of the glock, if you trigger lock it and then put it in its case and lock it, you will be following the law.

you can buy stack on cabinets at canadian tire pretty cheap, Then you know you are fine.

Stored in a safe, it does not require a trigger or action lock. My general acceptance of what a safe is, is one that has the word "safe" in the product name. A stack on cabinet is not a safe, but a cheap 40 dollar "Honeywell" 40 dollar safe is.
Stored in anything but a safe will require a trigger or action lock, as well as a locked container.

I beg to differ here, if you are keeping a restricted in a lockable stack-on locker (not a safe for this purpose), you just need a trigger or action lock on it and no need for extra case. The locker is by itself a locked container.

I saw a set up once where the handgun was trigger locked, in a locking Honywell-type box, through which he drilled a couple holes for a bicycle-type U-lock to secure the box to the drain pipe under his sink. If using a Stack-On or similar cabinet, I would think it prudent to ensure its secured to the wall/floor. You don't want a burglar stumbling upon it and just walking out with it. My 2c...

I think the main discussion point here was the legality question, so storing with a trigger lock inside ANY lockable container is legal. As a thief/burglar protection i personally think that anything short of a full blown fridge size safe (and not the cheap kinds which can be opened by a pro in 10min) with floor/store attachment is a joke...But let's face it, not everyone can afford one, either due to budget or space considerations.

Yes, trigger lock and locked securely in an ammo can will meet the requirements.

Trigger lock and in the locked can?.. yes you're safe. A metal tool box might be smarter. Easily transports and lockable.
