Where does it say the "vault" must be made by a "vault" maker? or that it even has to say "vault"?

STORAGE OF RESTRICTED FIREARMS

6. An individual may store a restricted firearm only if
(a) it is unloaded;
(b) it is
(i) rendered inoperable by means of a secure locking device and stored in a container, receptacle or room that is kept securely locked and that is constructed so that it cannot readily be broken open or into, or
(ii) stored in a vault, safe or room that has been specifically constructed or modified for the secure storage of restricted firearms and that is kept securely locked; and
(c) it is not readily accessible to ammunition, unless the ammunition is stored, together with or separately from the firearm, in
(i) a container or receptacle that is kept securely locked and that is constructed so that it cannot readily be broken open or into, or
(ii) a vault, safe or room that has been specifically constructed or modified for the secure storage of restricted firearms and that is kept securely locked.

So... I had an unfinished small basement bathroom that i finished and converted into a "vault"/"room" which is dedicated for the storage of firearms and ammo. All hang on the wall, no locks needed. Not saying im advising against locks..... I think people just get the wrong idea of a "vault". It doesn't need a big spinning wheel on the front or be a foot thick steel!

According to a chat I had with the lawyer who drafted the storage regs the phrase, "that has been specifically constructed or modified for the secure storage of restricted firearms" only applies to a room NOT to a vault or safe.

a true vault can't be confused with a locked ''cabinet'' stack-on style.

when you purchase a vault, it's stipulated that the vault is either a class 1-2-3-4 .

each class displays a mesured resistance to fire/inviolability wich may vary from one class to another.

the only way to keep a inspector off any interpretation is showing the invoice and papers that comes with the vault.

anyways a true vault of lets say 20'' by 20'' by 18'' weight around 450-550 lbs easy, they're made with thick steel plates, concrete and resin.

. a locked cabinet made out of metal sheets only weights at least half less if not lighter .

The way I understand it you only have to have your guns trigger locked when in your storage safe if you intend to keep ammunition in the same safe. So, they don't need to be trigger locked if the guns and ammo are stored in seperate containers. That said, I trigger lock my firearms and store my ammo seperately.
....Mostly to keep my wife happy.
which, I've been told keeps me happy.

You understand it wrong.

I keep my restricteds in a safe, no trigger locks, with ammo next to them. I even have full mags next to the guns, inside the same safe.

I can't believe these threads still get pages of replies...this subject has been beaten to death.

i'll post this once again :

Its really not that hard to understand ; unload your guns, and put them in the safe with the ammo. As long as the guns are not loaded, its legal. That means that the full mags can be right next to them, simply not inserted in them.

There is even a court ruling to that effect...this guy a couple years back out west who shot a robber in his store...thats the way he kept his pistol and ammunition, court agreed it was legal and met the storage regulations.

We sell "pistol cases" which contain a lock and combination. Because the item is marked "pistol case," has a combination lock, and it's printed in the manual "pistol case", you can store your handgun in it, with a loaded mag, (not in the handgun) without a trigger lock. (like a safe) And, it doubles as an actual transportation container to take to the range.

Just making the point.....transportation of a restricted firearm law contains no "OR" at all.
The restricted firearm must be "rendered inoperable by means of a secure locking device" whenever transported in a vehicle.
