Reality is keeping me away from blogging a bit right now, but I’m working on a wrapup on terrorism in my spare time and will try and get it posted.
One thing I have been doing is installing the gun safe in the new house (wow, lots of work!) and it occurs to me that this is a good time to wave at my fellow shooters and ask “Do you have your guns safely stored?” – i.e. where your too-young-to-responsibly-handle-guns children and casual burglars can’t get to them? If not, why not?

We have two safes…a big combination one and a small quick-access one; I can get into the small one as quickly as I could get it out of a drawer…A.L.

what’s your feelings on the ability to get to a gun inside a locked safe when you need one fast?lest you think otherwise, i am 1000% in favor of gun safety, especially in light of children around.

I have one of those cheap Homak light steel safes which I purchased after my wife insisted. And she was right. I don’t have one of the heavier “real” gunsafes because I barely have room for the safe I’ve got, and cannot afford the $$$ at this time. Perhaps after my daughter and grandkids move back out…But a cheap safe is better than no safe at all.
I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A GUN SAFE FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS NOW.THE PRICES ARE CRAZY.CHEAPEST I FOUND WAS 600.00. I’V SEEN THE STACK ON CABINETS THEY ARE VERY CHEAP AND SMALL 54″ TALL.THE REAL SAFES
AVERAGE 60″ TALL 24″ WIDE BY 18″ DEEP FOR 600.00
BUCKS!!!!! THATS FOR ONE WITH A ELECTRONIC LOCK
WHICH FOR QUICK ACCESS YOU NEED.I CAN BUY 2 GUNS FOR THAT,AND THEY TAKE ALOT MORE MACHINING TO MAKE.OH THEN ADD ANOTHER 100.00 TO 150.00 FOR SHIPPING.I KNOW WE NEED TO KEEP GUNS OUT OF KIDS HANDS BUT LETS BE RESONABLE ON PRICES!!I SEARCHED FOR USED ONES AND NO LUCK.I WILL SPEND UP TO 500.00 DOLLARS FOR A BASIC GUN SAFE WITH 2-3 SELVES AND A ELECTRONIC LOCK.THAT SHOULD INCLUDE SHIPPING.60″ TALL 24″WIDE BY 18″ DEEP.I HAVE A LOCKING CABINET NOW BUT IT HAS A GLASS FRONT NO GOOD FOR KIDS.IF ANYONE KNOWS OF ONE CLOSE TO WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR PLEASE E-MAIL ME I WILL BUY IT ON THE SPOT!
