storage of restricted firearm

[meerkat]

Hi guys!

noob here. I just got my PAL and now thinking it would be worth getting the restricted PAL too eventually.

But I'm not sure I want to store a handgun in my home. It might be paranoid, but living in an apartment downtown I don't want to worry about some punk finding out I have handguns and breaking into my place.

Do some gun clubs let you store your handguns with them? That would be a preferable option...

Yes, some gun clubs assign lockers for their members to use... depends where you are. I feel the same way about having guns in my apartment. In my home, I don't care, but an apartment is different, I find.

When at my apartment, I trigger lock my guns, put them in locked cases, and keep them in my locked bedroom. It's the best I have right now. I'd rather have a safe

DEFINATELY. The coolest guns are restricted.

I would get a quality pistol safe, like this:

Bolt it down securely, and hide it. Also be aware of who you tell about owning guns.

How much do those safes go for? I'm always weary when a company doesn't advertise prices on their website...

$400. It is a serious safe, not a thin cheesy cabinet marked "Safe" you could open with a large screw driver. You can buy them directly from the company. Mine was $470 shipped.

There is a cool one at Costco. Around 400$, beefy and you can put rifles, shoguns, and hanguns in it.... The best deal I found.
