    Pl. comment on my plan for a firearm safe

    Hi Folks,
    (Nube here so feel free to rip my plan apart- really welcome comments here)
    I plan to buy a

    https://www.globalindustrial.ca/p/storage/safes-security/business-home-office-safes/burglary-file-safe-cabinet-2-hr-factory-fire-rating-digital-lock-22w-x-22d-x-40h.

    it is around 300lbs and I feel safer with that kind of weight to prevent theft..
    I will be storing 1 pistol, 1 revolver and 1 AR15 (36.5 total length). The safe size is 16x19x36.5 so I plan to disassemble the AR15 before storing (if required).
    Thoughts.. am I being stupid here?
    Thanks in Advance.

    Another choice would be https://www.globalindustrial.ca/p/storage/safes-security/business-home-office-safes/burglary-file-safe-cabinet2-hr-factory-fire-rating-digital-lock22w-x-22d-x-26-1-2h which is
    200lbs and
    18x16.5x23.. would a S&W M&P®15 SPORT™ II disassembled bottom fit into this? (even diagonally)

    I will be storing ammo in a seperate less expensive safe.

    Why would you buy that for a thousand dollars when you could get an actual gun safe for about the same price?

    Cabelas has one on sale right now for $650 that is better suited for firearms: https://www.cabelas.ca/product/102541/liberty-provault-18-gun-safe

    Maybe wait 'till October. If Trudeau gets back in, he might make the storage decission easy for you.

    I'm going to say No. $1k should buy you more safe space than that. 300lbs is decent, not good, but not #### either for that size.

    This calls for the providers to have a thorough understanding of the ownership and storage of firearms and to provide clients with individualized, informed suggestions. In some circumstances, they can even temporarily separate patients from their firearms using legal safeguards. 1v1 lol
