Tips On Buying A Gun Safe:

If you're thinking of buying a "gun safe", consider these thoughts. If you are a true gun nut (and you probably are if you're considering the purchase of a safe for your firearms), always buy a safe that is larger than you think you need. A good quality safe will inevitably end up storing more than just your guns. Look for "fire resistance", but don't over pay for some pie in the sky claim. Look for "re-lockers". Re-lockers are hardened pins that are triggered during an attempted break-in. Re-lockers will require hours of drilling to defeat. And lastly, shop, shop and shop some more. There are a lot of different safe makers out there.

Tips On Using A Gun Safe:

Consider storing your ammo separate from your guns. Don't put your gun safe in plain site in a high traffic area of your home. Don't store your power tools or cutting torch next to your safe. And lastly, attach your gun safe to the floor or wall or both.

Choosing a Gun Safe:

What Should I Expect To Pay For A Good Gun Safe?

My opinion is that you should expect to pay $800 to $1,600 for a really good gun safe. It is true that you can find safes out there in the $200 to $500 range, and maybe all you are looking for is something to keep the kids out of the guns. Or perhaps you have a large investment in your collection and you are looking for the best, expect to pay $2,000 to $5,000.
