Bedside Pistol Lock Boxes

and last I checked I don't have a refrigerator next to my bed.

I keep looking at these boxes and think " I can fabricate one". I could, but at what cost to me. Simplex cabinet locks go for $50 or so.

That's EXACTLY what my thought was. I know plenty of machine shops that could slap the welds on a box like this, and then bolt up a simplex lock. In fact... [runs away to start sketching up a design in solidworks]

I have been diagnosed with celiacs, I can't drink beer...

But thanks for rubbing salt in THAT wound...


That sucks man. I was diagnosed in 2008. Never had regular birthday cake since! Or regular pizza, bread, lasagna, or pie.
I don't think any of the substitutes are anywhere near as tasty as the food I was eating before. And then theres the cost. F'n $6.30 for what equates to a half of a loaf of bread.

As far as the alcohol goes, you can still drink the hard stuff! I learned to love me some tequila, and rums. GF beer sucks

Have you guys tried any of the Hard Apple ciders? GF

I like those shelves that you can mount on a wall and use a magnet to unlock and the shelf swings down exposing your goodies. Would be high enough to keep out of toddler reach but still easily accessible if something goes bump in the night or to transition to bed stand. Don't have kids but it is what I would be using.

I have seen the shelves that have a drop down cubby for firearms. I like the idea, but I am renting. I'm okay with putting holes in my own furniture/etc but I hate patching holes in walls for rentals and the walls in this place are painted with colors (white is easier to hide a spackle job, color paint I'd have to attempt to cover it up).

I'm starting to lean towards the VLine Brute right now, it looks similar to the Ft Knox Original Pistol Box, still a little smaller but I like how the lid wraps down further. I can get the Brute for $5 more than the Ft Knox (totalsecuritystore.com), so price isn't an issue.

I realy like wood chuck, and angry orchard. they have some actual taste.

I used to like red bridge, but anheiser stopped supplying it around here.

Still haven't found anything that tastes like miller lite but gluten free. If they could even get that right, they'd have a fan for life.

Fine, since we're talking about GF "beers", I'll let you in on a little secret. You CAN drink beer!

Corona technically tests less than 20 PPM gluten, so it is gluten free. HOWEVER, the celiacs foundation refuses to label it as gluten free because it is made from gluten. For the record, I have not tried this, but my sister (also a celiac, she was diagnosed first so I can actually blame her that I have it) has and said it didn't do anything to her. I'm not sure I want to try it.

Omission brews a Pale Ale, Lager, IPA and possibly more. All of their beers are gluten-reduced. I have had all 3 and they do not affect me in one bit. They basically use a type of yeast that eliminates the gluten (or something, too tired to look it up).

Stone Brewing Company is coming out with Delicious IPA, a gluten-reduced beer. Stone uses a White Labs enzyme that breaks down gluten proteins, separates and denatures them (Clarity-Ferm is the name). Stone also releases their gluten tests based on best-by dates.

Now, can we get back to my thread?!

Have you seen the Stella Atroise hard cider? Have not tried it yet.
