I received my firearms licence for non restricted and restricted last month (6 month wait), very excited.
I have not joined a range yet but I live in BC and I am planning to join, THE RANGE Langley, around May/June (Other bills first). No plans for hunting yet but maybe in the future. I have shot a few hand guns before.
I would like to buy a safe and was wondering if you guys could give me your insights on what safes would be decent for a newbie that does not have the money for $1000 plus safes.
An idea that I have is the 8 gun Stack On safe from Canadian Tire and the pistol safe that matches it (I would use that for ammo storage). I heard you can drill holes to combine them. (Maybe I am wrong) I imagine these are more like security cabinets than safes (You would build them) but would satisfy the legal requirement. Also, there are no small children present in my household.
Another option is the Stack On 8 gun safe with a combo lock.
The thing is, I feel they are a bit small and I am getting what I pay for. I live on a second floor and I would have to pull a pre-built safe up a flight of stairs but It would not be an issue if not too heavy.
Feel free to make any suggestions, I am new to all of this and have a lot of questions but feel it would be better for another thread.
Open to any opinions. Feel free to throw other suggestions. Thanks for reading.
