Great advice from start to finish!Pawpaw wrote:A gun safe is always a good idea. I bought mine because of my growing collection and I was building a new house.
Do yourself a favor and go to a real safe store. A good one will show you the differences over the safes you see in big box stores. The one I used is THE SAFE COMPANY in Garland. They have used safes too, which can save you money.
One more tip: Whatever safe you think you need, double it. That's typically where those used safes come from... people who bought too small.
ETA: Have it bolted down.
As soon as I could afford one, I bought.FloMoAggie wrote:For those who have purchased safes, why did you purchase when you did?
Buy way more size than you think you will ever need, because sooner than you can believe it will be full- even if not with guns.
