    Smile Some commentary please . I have a gun cupboard .....

    I am trying to follow the storage of firearms rules .
    There are three things that must be kept safe , separately . Bolts , Rifles and Ammo . Correct ?

    So , I have a firearms "Cupboard" . THis is purposely built into my house , but its not the actual total security . The Cupboard has a standard door ,but 2 internal Bolt type locks installed in the door and the doors hinges are blind . A key is needed for the locks of the door to the cupboard .
    Inside the cupboard is a standard gun safe . The safe has 4 bolts in the door. You need a different key to open the door of the safe .
    IN the safe , is an ammo/ bolt "safe" that needs a separate key from the other 2 keys .

    So, this is how i see things ..
    The cupboard is purposefully built into my house when we built it . It has heating , and shelves for my reloading materials , and i store spare scopes , and suppressors there as well . However the door would be best described as "stout " and if a thief turned up with a chainsaw ( say ) i guess he could cut the whole door right out of the wall.

    So, now that action would expose the gun safe , which is bolted to the floor and the back wall of the cupboard and if the thief turned up with metal cutting tools as well , eventually he might defeat the safe door "mechanisms " and the rifles would be exposed and i guess if he persisted with the metal cutting tools , he could defeat the inner safe to expose the bolt/ ammo safe contents .

    As it turns out , i only keep firearms in the safe , in the cupboard , and nothing in the internal gun safe designed for ammo / bolts . I Hide the bolts and ammo in separate different locations . But heres the question , do i have to ?
    THeroretically , Ammo could be in the cupboard on the shelves , protected by the cupboard bolts ,blind hinges and first set of separate keys ? And "separately " in the Gun safe ( in the cupboard ), are rifles locked in the gunsafe by another separate key and then " separately " in the gunsafe , in the bolt safe of the gun cabinet and by another separate key there could be bolts .
    Yes or No ?
    cheers
