Gun Safe questions

[Lars]

Like these guys said, get bigger than what you need. I prefer basement over garage as it is out of sight out of mind. If your basement has a possibility of flood then just elevate the safe a little. I didn't bolt mine to the floor because it cannot be taken back up the stairs, mods had to be made and repaired to get it down there. It will stay with the house the next time I move. Liberty and Knox or some of the best, as well as the Browning safes. The debate about temp rating goes back and fourth. Mine is rated pretty high due to the fact that it is in the basement and if the fire ever did get bad enough and every thing fell it then maybe something might survive. The wife says that what is in the safe would be
the least of or worries, I beg to differ. Do your homework and shop around, safes are a huge investment. Good luck and I hope you have a few good friends to help you move it in. I'm not sure if they still offer it but Cannon safes used to promise that if anyone ever did manage to break into your safe that they would replace the contents.
