How do you guys store your guns? These are my 4 safes. The Cannon is a bare bones model, while the Liberty is a DeLuxe Model with full fireproofing, and Automotive type finish. The 2 Stack On's are where I keep all my cheap stuff, and I have them lag bolted into the wall studs. I also keep 300 pounds of shot in each one so even if they do manage to get them pulled from the wall, they'll break their backs trying to carry them off. They won't stop a pro, but insurance statistics show most home break in's are usually by kids, and they're not in the house for more than a couple of minutes.  billt

I have the Liberty model. I had them special make the insides so that all my firearms are stored muzzle down. This keeps the oils from migrating down into the wood stocks. Top shelf has my handguns. There is  a row of shelves on one side that the wife took over for her camera equipment. It weighs 1200 lbs, so no one is going to carry it off, even empty.

I don't have a safe yet either Timber.   Been waiting till we find a house we like, get a safe, put it in the house, and never move it.  Meanwhile, most of my guns are in a locked closet.   I'll have to rely on my burglar system for a while longer.  Works good as long as I feed her.

Gunrunner,

Buy a killer chihuahua, it will at least annoy them when it eats their ankles off.
