storing guns in a safe???
I finally have enough weapons that my wife wants me to put them in a safe but my house isn't big enough. Can I store them in a safe out in an unheated shed or will they end up rusting away.
Thanks for any advice (other than getting rid of my wife)
Umnn.... Safe yes... great idea(for the most part) Make sure to keep the defence ones out where you can get to them fast. Put the rest in the safe.
But putting guns in a safe outside the house is unacceptable in my opinion. Safes are easy to steal, and putting your guns anywhere without an alarm is a bad idea. I'd say do anything you can to keep them in the house.
"Will they end up rusting away?" Probably. "Thanks for any advice (other than getting rid of my wife)" Tell her your shed floor will never support the weight of a safe unless it's a concrete slab. Let her pick out the safe sense it was her idea in the first place. That way she'll be more protective of your investment and see how necessary it is to keep your guns close at hand and how important it is to keep your weapons stored in a controlled environment. A safe under the stairs or in the corner of your bedroom won't kill ya but, a safe outside just might cost you your life! Good luck.

unheated safe inside your house = ok (make sure they're (firearms) properly maintained (lubed) and kept away from high humidity locations (near the laundry area, hot water heater, etc..)
outside of your house = not a good idea.
I would put my wife outside before my guns.No, really I would. She wouldn't like it ,but Good guns are hard to get, women are a dime a dozen.
womenz are plentiful....
....GOOD womenz are damn hard to find
good women are hard to find
Thanks for all your advice confirming what I already suspected...it is a bad idea. I'll just put the safe in my bedroom closet, on my side!
As for women, when my wife has no problem with my dropping another grand for guns, I say she is well worth keeping around.
PLEASE don't tell my wife i said that.
hmmm, the site could use a new server
no room for guns in your house, well have i got the deal for you
i have plenty of room so just give them to me and i will take care of it.
i know you probably wont go for it.
tell your wife that at least you dont keep the harley in the house
i do, but my wife understands its expensive and we dont have a garage. we have a barn but it isnt nearly nice enough to store a harley in
