Pistol storage at home

Would this work?

Pistols unloaded, trigger locked, in their case from manufacturer - locked. Stored away in a locked cabinet in my kitchen. No gun safes used.

Or could you guys recommend some larger storage gun safes? Would only be used for 3 pistols max.

Locks on pistols, locked in that cabinet meets the requirement.

Most cases that comes from manafactures, won't fit with a trigger lock installed. Why not just lock it, put it in a gun sock and then in the locked cabinet?

If it is marked as a safe, even if it is only on the sales slip which you will photocopy and leave a copy in the safe under the little mat, I think a Restricted can be stored in it unloaded, Period.

There is no definition in C-68 of what defines a "safe".

For 3 handguns, I'd spend less and get this on AMAZON

OP: Locked in a locked box satisfies the legal requirements.
Locked in a safe (no trigger lock required) satisfies legal requirements.

A "safe" is any product marketed as a safe.

It would be best to bolt that box to the wall (to a stud) so that it cannot be easily carried away. There should be holes in the back surface for this purpose.

Who has access to the keys, and is there anything else in the cabinet?

Ever demolished a kitchen?

Whatever safe you go with, make sure to bolt it down. Bottom and back if possible.
Half the battle opening one is access

Short answer , yes that works ; although you really don't need to lock the pistols in the factory cases when stored in the safe . As someone else mentioned , might be wise to bolt your safe to something to prevent it from being easily carried away .
