How do you store handgun`s????

I am just about ready to say fu#k these stupid trigger locks and throw them a side they are so wide and have that stupid shaft they cause havok in my safe and are starting to piss me off..

I have seen all most every kind of rack and hanger around problem is my stupid safe is not deep and the top shelf sucks .The shelf is to high and I am getting scraches putting them up there. I also dont want to drill into my safe because thats hard pushing and to much work with a drill ..I am going to my work monday to weld something up...

What I am looking for is some idea`s on what to build or maybe show me what you do to store

I got these file holders at Office Depot

Yeah I agree SteveBC....the only way to really secure a safe is to bolt it down into concrete with concrete bolts. At least that way thieves would have to cut into the safe as opposed to just wheeling it out. 2 guys that delivered my safe (700 lbs) wheeled it in...so two guys could just as easily wheel it out with a moving dolly if it is not bolted down.
 
Don't mean to hijack this thread, but would a guy need trigger locks on restricted firearms in this product? http://www.every safe.com/Stack-On-GC-910-5-SON1095.html
It is sold as a security cabinet rather than a safe.

Looks like a safe to me - certainly meets the "Webster Test", made of metal, locks, keeps things safe, was designed to keep things safe - it's a safe.
 
The law does not set a test for what constitutes "a safe" - if it's enclosed and locks and was designed to keep things in safely, it's a safe.

Agree.... No matter if its 5lbs or 5000lbs if they want it they will take it...Look at a bank safe the robbers will just wait for you to open it or make you open it for them
 
Are you saying that the stack on cabinet can not be open`d with a flat head?

Are you a liberal mla by any chance? 'Cause you sound like one being so vague and wrong!
No, the StackOn can't be opened with most flat-head screwdrivers. Maybe with a 3/8 but I doubt it. And since one would need tools to break into it, it stands the definition of a safe.

I just looked at my copy of the CFC regs and it specifically states,

"...safe, vault, or room that was built or adapted for storing these types of firearms."

Thought that was interesting. Never noticed the wording before. Leaves a lot open to the user, as far as I'm concerned. Anything could be "adapted"!
 
Well then lexan it is, tested bulletproof to what degree? Are we talking 22 rimfire bullet proof or 338 lapua bullet proof. Where would a guy have to look for 1/2" lexan, sign makers, or is it something homedepot would keep in?

Also what would be classified as a safe? Is there such a thing as a transparent/is the "safe" part of it mostly in the locking mechanism? Example would a full length heavy duty piano hinge on one side and a set of 4 1/2" rods locking into the steel door frame constitute as a "safe". If yes maybe I'll have to start designing a lock mechanism that could keep the door mostly lexan with only a framework and the lock being incased.

I have no problem keeping them trigger locked in this cabinet but if I can build it to "safe" strengths why not just do it that way, and safe the hassle of locks for going to the range.
 
Its a safe I think or no???


Yes it is. Move along.

Looks like a safe to me - certainly meets the "Webster Test", made of metal, locks, keeps things safe, was designed to keep things safe - it's a safe.

Give the man a silver star for being correct.

The law does not set a test for what constitutes "a safe" - if it's enclosed and locks and was designed to keep things in safely, it's a safe.

Give the man a GOLD star for proving his point.

I have the one without the shelf. Definitely recommended. Able to open in the dark, is a big plus.

10-4 on the being able to open in the dark. For sure a requirement in this day and age.
 
Ok so to help me brush up. Stored in safe you don't need a trigger lock?

Only time you need a t lock is when your transporting?

Non restricted needs no lock correct, ever? Right? As far as a long rifle was concerned I could store it with the bolt open next to my bed right?
