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.
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 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"!

This is the safe I have for my favourite gun in my bedroom, I like to keep it close so I can clean it, often.
I have the one without the shelf. Definitely recommended. Able to open in the dark, is a big plus.
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.
Give the man a silver star for being correct.
Give the man a GOLD star for proving his point.
10-4 on the being able to open in the dark. For sure a requirement in this day and age.

Grrr... And you probably get to walk around town with it as well
So??? You can too.
Oh, you mean legally....
Silly fool, stop thinking for yourself. Only gangbangers are allowed to do that...

Oh come on, getting dressed in the dark while having an epileptic seizure is all the rage?!

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?
