Having 8 guns and counting strewn about my apartment at any given time doesn't seem very safe. What do you all recommend that will at least give a robber some trouble? I know this should be a buy once, cry once kind of purchase.
Post cool pics of your setup if you're one of those old richfags and have a dedicated gun room.

Most of the people here stay home all the time, so they don't really need a gun safe besides keeping them safe from being drenched in gallons of fapjuice.

Just remember that if it can be easily picked up it can be walked away with.
Christopher Morales
You must have not been here for the hipoint Jow Forumsommando who had one in every room of his house

Get a gun cabinet. Offers the same thickness of steel as cheaper safes, and really it's a pain in the fucking ass to move and bolt a 700+lb safe when you can do it with a 200lb cabinet that will protect all of your shit just as well from crack heads. Anyone that comes in planning to crack or break into a safe is going to get into a safe just as easy as a gun cabinet. Bolt it to the foundation and forget about it.
>but muh fire proofing
If your home catches fire you can bet your safe will still heat up enough to cook those guns and ammo to the point you might as well have gotten a cabinet. Fireproof safes rarely make it out of real house fires.

Well then you're fucked.
Best bet is to get a home security system so they're on a timer.

Lock your doors and windows at night so that they have to make a bunch of noise just to get in. I leave guns all over the place with the confidence no matter where I am, I'll always hear an invader before he makes his way in (then I'll rape him/her with my gun and THEN with my benis)
Andrew Jenkins
This, nothing is more valuable than a gun for your shitter.
Michael Kelly
Do you live in a high crime area? If not just get a Stack-On and bolt it into place.

Real safes and apartments don’t really mix. There are a few decent small safes that you can buy that won’t kill you to move later.
But during my time in an apartment I used an old uniform locker screwed to the wall. Find a stud or use masonry screws and put it up against a block wall.
Cameron Cook
No, most of the niggers are on the west side of downtown. I live on the 16th story of an apartment complex.
Already on top of it with renters insurance.
Joseph Perez
Get a Stack-On, at least one size larger than you need right now. It'll keep kids and casual nig-nogs from getting into our gun and it won't break the bank.
Gabriel Bell
>wearing a holster around the house
no thanks. I have either an unchambered glock, 12ga, AR, or AK in every single room. Which isn't saying much since I have a small home, but still no matter where I am, I'm gonna know where to reach in/under in case some shit happens

Well depending on your circumstances you can just back a stack-on. I bought two of them. One for the guns and one for the ammo. Then I individually locked them up using locks and I keep the keys to all the locks in a combination safe (small that I hide). I have kids. Also they're already respectful of firearms and can pass a firearm safety test. So....just in case all other measures are passed they need will still not do anything stupid. (ammo and mags and accessories in one safe and guns in the other safe). Literally the only safer way is to not store guns in the house in the first place.
>implying I can't self defend since it's all too locked up
I can get to my gun and load it in less than 10 seconds I've tested myself. So unless the burglar is literally running up the stairs and runs kicks my door open without hesitation just to kill me, I'm good.
Nathaniel Miller
Thanks for locking up your guns since you have kids. No seriously, thank you. If all parents were willing to do it, the fucked up school shit would have stopped after colombine
Jackson Ortiz
Why don't you keep those murder tools in this safe?

Buying safes from Walmart seems pretty anti-2A. Who else sells cheap ones?

just have the guns guard each other. thats how i do it.

>I live on the 16th story of an apartment complex.
I know this is just my fault for being a massive autist, but I don't know how the fuck you can deal with that. Elevators are a huge pain in the ass on their own, and I can't imagine getting stuck in one with some stupid soccermom while carrying a rifle case.
I live in a short apartment building currently and am about a month away from moving into my first house. It'll have an attached garage and I can't fucking wait because that means no more autistic sonic running to my car in the middle of the night before I go to the range.
Carter Johnson
Get guitar cases to transport your arms discreetly? Otherwise, just say no if they ask if it's a gun. I, too, unnecessarily worry about people seeing my guns, but it really shouldn't be anything to be worried about. Just don't break any laws.
Bentley Cooper
I think that bird has already flown the coop in my case. I decided I wanted to clean my guns before sundown a few times and twice I was coming up the stairs while someone was coming down and their eyes got big when they saw the cases. Doesn't really matter since they can't do anything about it but I'd rather them not know about it, loose lips suck dicks and all that.
John Taylor
They can't count that high, your room is safe. What city?
Colton Powell
Hence why we have safes

Ayyy, I used to live there. They still importing Somalis by the boatload?

>sonic running to the car in the middle of the night before you go to the range
I fucking know those feels bro. Forgot to pack the night before the last time I went and ran into three girls about my age while carrying no less than five rifle cases along with a backpack full of ammo/handguns. I tried to say hi but they just ignored me and gave me a wide berth.
Should have a house by September. Can't wait.
Isaac Miller
Good luck senpai. I just got the approval letter for my mortgage yesterday so all I have to do now is sit and wait for my closing date.
Gavin Carter
>Why don't you keep those murder tools in this safe?
My only regret is that we didn't put more of your ancestors in that safe.
Gavin Green
I’m not sure they’ll all fit, can you lean in and measure it?
Jace Davis
Amen!

Even the cheapshit Stack-On "wall locker" type gun safes provide enough protection to deter 99% of burglars.
If a burglar shows up with the tools necessary to pry open even a cheap commercial safe AND has the time to do it, you failed at layered defense and he'd have the time and tools to get into an expensive safe.
0.0000000001% of burglars will bother with locked containers they cannot immediately smash open by throwing it or knocking it over or just carrying the whole fucking thing with them (nightstand safes/drawer safes).
As a result:
>whatever you get, BOLT IT DOWN. Not only does this deter against theft as it denies them leverage or the ability to drag it out, but even the larger safes can pose a tip hazard to children, drunkards/druggies, and pets.
>if possible, place it somewhere they don't have room to swing or pry, such as a closet
>dial locks are orders of magnitude more secure than keypad locks (I can download a free cellphone app that will unlock a digital keypad in around 15 seconds, I just have to create the right probe set out of a micro USB cable and clip it to the leads on the keypad pcb which is toolless-accessible on every safe that has one)
There is the downside of dial locks being a lot slower so if you intend to use a firearm for home defense, either only have it out when you're home or keep it in separate storage that's faster to access.
Jose Cook
Unironically most farm supply stores (TSC, Rural King, Farm and Home, Mills Fleet Farm). Obviously the big-box sporting goods retailers like Academy, Big 5, Scheel's, Cabela's, Gander, Bass Pro, etc. Target carries a couple small ones. K-mart did as well at one point but I haven't given them much thought in the last 5 years and I know they're having financial troubles. Menard's, Lowes, and Home Depot carry the smaller Cannon safes (I recommend Home Depot because they're 2A-neutral and very pro-veteran while being better or the same on prices as the others).
FWIW the Dick's storebrand safes (Field & Stream) are straight rebrands of Stack On at about a 5% markup, plus Dick's went full anti-2A when Ed Stack decided he needed to be a congressman, so avoid the fuck out of it.

My $80 Stack-On 8-gun cabinet from Amazon kept my guns safe when someone broke in while I was away for the summer last year. Found a kitchen knife snapped in half next to it, so it's obvious he tried to pry it open and failed. Works well enough - tweakers and teenage dindus tend not to carry angle grinders around with them.
