Also old refrigerators or stand up freezers. Something hidigin plain sight works and if you have any handy skills you can modify to fit your needs. Yep...

That's a cool idea I never thought of. My garage fridge is my deer aging cooler now though.

I like that old fridge door storage for reloading supplies. Which reminded me, if you ever decide to upgrade, those cabinets can always be repurposed.

I had an old upright freezer that I used for ammo storage. It was very nice but when I moved to montezuma I had to leave it in anderson.

A few years back I had an internet repairman come to the house. My guns were in a glass case in the corner.. He admired them and said "Nice guns"! Hmmm.. The next day Menards ran an add for 24 gun safe for $499. I ran right down and bought one. I think I have 13 long guns and 7 handguns in it and it's full.

Yes. Supposed to be delivered by the 20th. I checked out Rural King a few days ago. They had a 14 gun Stack On for $149. I've been checking. Rural king, gander mountain, Menards, tractor supply, multiple online venues and that 144 was the best price I found for a comparable safe. Did you get the one with 4 picket door organizer

I bought the same one and it told me it was the last one too. As long as I get what I actually ordered I will be pleased. Heck I don't have to drive to the big city and pick it up and stuff in my vehicle and load and unload it. And got it at a price well within my budget.

Yes. Supposed to be delivered by the 20th. I checked out Rural King a few days ago. They had a 14 gun Stack On for $149. they dropped it off today. For what it is it appears to be nice enough for my needs when put all the bells and whistles in it I will let everyone know what kind of capacity I am achieving.i don't have 22 guns though so I can't know for sure if it will fit that many yet.

If you have a closet that you can sacrifice, that would be the safest place to bolt it in. Definitely bolt it to the floor and wall. The cramped spaces of a closet will deter or at least severely slow down would be thieves trying to pry it open. If you're lucky, you have a deep closet and clothes will hang in front of it. Thank you for doing your part to help protect other families while taking the opportunity to protect yours.

It is mainly about other families. Of course the added safety for my family is good. I am just glad to finally get ANYTHING to lock up my guns. Fire safes are whatever but living in a semi rural setting you are gonna get alot of water and heat on any safe in the event of a fire. Alot of the fire safes really aren't even very fire safe and they sure don't keep much water out. I am going to do some further theft deterrent stuff to it. Just to keep your average criminal out. I live right by the police station and the highway so I feel like that gives me a little more security anyway. Plus I have a "vicious" dog and one in training.

Join the FD, that way they know which room to spray first I am but I know how it is. If you can put out a fire with a little water or you can put a swimming pool in their basement.

I think that one would need a shoe horn to get anywhere near 20 guns in one of these. However, I glued a couple inches of foam onto the backs of the dividers; this allows the scoped rifles to stand up straighter, which gives the butt stocks more room.

Mine came with spacers for the dividers on the side walls. My 14 gun fits 14 guns. 8 slick tops across the back and 6 scoped (or not) on the sides - 3 each.
