Thread: Headsup..1day gunsafes

Just spoke to my local AO about A Cat safes as I'm in the market, but on a budget. He said it has to meet a few basic requirements.

1. it must be lockable.
2. it can't be opened with hand tools... screwdriver, hammer, pry bar etc. so if a someone came across it they couldn't smash it open
3. it cant be moved.

I asked about the steel ones, he said cheap ones are shit can can be opend with a hammer, and crow bar = fail
He also said that they frown upon the ones that have the second internal lockable compartment if you're using it to store your bolt = Fail

The reason being that they need to be stored separately and technically they 'could' just take the whole safe and have a working firearm. So bolt and ammo stored in a seperate lockable box somewhere else.

The I aksed about hand made lockable boxes, eg. a sturdy customwood/plywood locable box/cabinate. He said yep as long as it meets 1, 2 & 3 above, and bolt and ammo are seperate..... So this is my weekend project, should cost less than half a bought one and I can customise to what I need.
