Let's talk gun safes!

[KFinn]

i know i worked that day i was up at 4 in the morning opening! it was so crazy plus ammo was buy one get one free! we sold out of all are safes by i think it was around 12 ish we had 18 24gun safes and like 5 28 guns and like two 36s basicly we sold everything we had on the floor and stock room was gone besides a few floor models which cant be movied like the 45 gun safe! at the flatiorns dicks.

Ya. I was quite conflicted about it this past year. I have always boycotted the stores on those days for 2 reasons. I refuse to deal with such a high population of oblivious, inconsiderate, people. Granted you run into a few every day, I wasn't about to subject myself to it exponentially. Second, I don't want to support employers forcing everyone to work such ungodly hours on the day after a holiday. In all reality, stores could throw a big sale any day of the year, have the normal open time and publicize it and still make out quite well. But they don't....

Sadly this was one year where I felt I really needed a gun safe in preparation of getting room mates, and for that big of a steal, I couldn't pass up. I could have even passed 150.00 off or something.

So coop - Kudos to you for bending over for the american shopper.

is there an upcoming show you may be able to attend and shop around?

The next International Sportsmans Expo is not until next year.

look at costco.

I have bought a couple from there, got a big 36 gun safe for about $850, maybe a little less. has 30 min fire rating on it

Holy Shnikees. I had enough difficulty moving a 24 gun safe around. I can't imagine the 36 gun.

These require batteries, right... and a bypass key for when the battery dies?
Have you had to deal with that?

I've had one of my digital keypad safes for three years now. I haven't replaced the battery in it yet and get into the safe often. I had planned to be pro-active and replace the batteries this past daylight Savings Time change-over (I forgot).

are you a costco member?

the deal MB888 posted was great, especially with free delivery. they will drop it off at your curb, you have to get it in the house or garage or where you want it though.
With 3 guys and a appliance dolly it is a piece of cake. probably only 2 for the smaller 24 gun safes.

When it's time to move it, remember that the door does come off and go back on easily enough (with the door open, just lift it up off of the pins). move them separately - it makes a 2 person move - including down basement stairs - MUCH easier!

lol agreed maybe plasma torch is next on the list!

Huh?



The heat inside the safe will build up enough to damage your firearms before you can get the door cut open.

WOW - incredible price!
Except - I don't think I can wait for the day after thanksgiving...
8 months...
My guns need protection!

(I could have them all condomized!)

You can store them in my safe. :-) for a small nominal fee (ie: letting me cuddle with them at night and pop off a few rounds) hehe

Just make sure he wipes them down completely BEFORE you handle them. (Yuck!)

took 3 of us plus a appliance dolly and we were still straining....all I can say is I am glad none of us had a duece waiting or it would have ended up on my steps.

didn't try that, but it worked out just fine!

I didn't use that technique with my first Winchester safe, but I did do it with the second. It's difficult to find 2 friends to help you get those down into your basement - twice. I had to get more creative the second time around.
