Ingenious EEJ, I will do the same.
Fixed it for you again. It is the room that has to be built, adapted or modified for firearms storage not the safe.
Now about your wikipedia article, can you quote what class does the firearms act say the safe should be? Oh, it doesn't? How come?
Really, you need to lighten up and start understanding what you're reading.
cheers
ps: you still haven't found the legal precedent, have you?
Safer for him from the police and spurious "unsafe storage" charges. - dan
he he he, sad but true
From the CFC site, its been posted many times before:
Lock the firearms in a vault, safe or room that was built or modified specifically to store firearms safely.
Look at the way its written,
Lock firearms in a vault (comma) safe or room that was built or modified specifically to store firearms safely.
It is implying storage must be in a vault OR a safe OR room that was built or modified specifically to store firearms safely.
No where does it say that a safe must be specifically a gun safe or vault. It only implies that the room must be specifically modified or built. if they intended for it to mean that it must be a specific gun safe, they would have wrote it as:
"Lock firearms in a vault designed specifically for the storage of firearms, safe designed specifically for the storage of firearms or a room that was built or modified specifically to store firearms safely."
A steel cabinet meets the definition of a safe. Like mentioned, these laws are not in place to prevent theft, they are in place to prevent the owners from gaining access to them quickly.

If we can practice lightning quick mag changes or speed loader reloads, what is to keep us from developing the speed to open our safes/cabinets with the same speed and dexterity?

I would guess the liberals who wrote the law have a hard time with basic mechanical locks (the whole turning thing gets them), and combo locks are like fort knox to them. Therefore, they assume everyone has the same issues.
Well, they still remember the bicycle lock fiasco from grade school, and the burning eternal shame of being the only kid in school who couldn't unlock their bike at recess. The rest of us are still paying for their psychological scars. - dan
I cut out some foam so I can store them vertically in a stack on case. I can fit 5 handguns in it now.
I would be a little leery of storing handguns long term in a foam rack, foam can hold moisture and could cause rust on your handguns. Even if you have desiccant in your safe the foam could attract a little moisture. Just my opinion, no offense or criticism intended.
