Gun Safe questions

[SideShow Bob]

Bolted to the floor whether in the garage or basement.
Cons in the garage : large temperature swings, from frigid winter and hot summers could cause rusting of your sticks. High humidity in the winter if the garage is heated due to snow and slush melting off of vehicles. Easy access to your stick storage device from uninvited persons especially if the garage door is accidentally left open when you leave. And a high possibility of rusting out the bottom of the safe from Magchloride & salts from winter road treatments mixed in the snow and slush melting from vehicles.
Cons in the basement : it is hell getting a decent size safe into the basement if it has a tight 180* turn half way down.
Pros in the basement : a more temperature controlled environment. Out of sight to guests. Easier access to you for cleaning and fondling of the sticks.

Dont beleive the manufacturers number of sticks the safe will hold, cut that number by at least 1/3.
Buy a safe at least for 1/2 more than you think you will ever need.

And like anything else, you get what you pay for.
