Thread: Rules of installing a gun safe/rack

I was at the local AO office a year or so ago. A guy was asking the same question. He described the house he was building and the wall he wanted to mount it to. The officer behind the counter gave similar advice to above. Then I asked him a couple of questions; Is that art of the house built yet? And how permanent does he want it.

That par of the concrete wall was not poured yet, and he wanted it very permanent and possibly for B category. So I suggested rather than drilling into the new concrete and using expanding bolts or epoxy, that he drill holes in the boxing before the pour. Grab a couple of bolts or threaded rod (The bigger the better) and bolt them to the boxing as though it was the safe wall leaving the head of the bolt set back into where the concrete will be poured. Bent bolts are better than straight ones.....

I asked it the officer thought this would be enough and he seemed surprised. I said at the end of the day it has to be secure and this would be the easiest and most effective way I could think of. He asked how I came up with the idea and I simply said it is what I would do.

I dont want security that complies with the law. I want security that makes it as hard as I possibly can for any scum bag to remove my possessions, that I paid for, from where I want them to be. So not only does my safe exceed their specs, I have added alarms and I bike chains through the firearms inside the safe as well. Looking at cameras now as well.
