Thread: Firearms security

Ive asked this question at the sika show to the arms officers there, how do you provide security in a rental flat, that wont allow you to bolt a safe in etc or mount a rack?

Mates house

asking this for a mate
already stored at a secure location, told must have security onsite to comply, cant do bolt holes, tex screws etc if you do you lose your bond and possible blacklist as renter, does as ebf says make the fucker so heavy to move count? vs other non descript ways of securing?

Simple, get a 24 gun safe that is so heavy no sane person would try to shift it

Has the added benefit of having loads of space for "toys"

I have an old safe [circa 1875] that weighs in excess of 800 kgs, sides and top are sand filled so couldn't drill...easy fix was to cut bolt heads and glue in place.

That is crafty

Cheers guys, sorted out some security today. I Have a 'school locker' with two types locks on and secured to studs, a fireproof very thick pistol safe for ammo and a ammo tin for bolts etc. All in separate locations. How do you reckon it will fear?

Just had one installed into my new Mai Mai four blokes had to lift it in place then we had to fit the door onto its hinges .

Had it in 2 x previous flats, both had safe installed and bolted to wall and floor in a wardrobe. Removed bolts, added plaster and repainted said back wall when moving out, landlord none the wiser but your mileage may vary.
