Gun Safes/Vaults

[brockgl]

I am going to be in the market soon for a Gun Safe/Vault and would like everyone's input on what to get. Does anyone have any experiences here that would steer me one way or the other? I currently have 2 rifles, a shotgun, and a handgun. The longest barrel on my rifles is 28.5", so I think I will need a tall safe. Anyone recommend a certain brand, or type of safe? I want something that I can quickly access in an emergency. I definitely do not want something slow to access like a turn-style combination lock. But I am definitely up for suggestions.

Also, my 3 long guns are hanging on a nice gun rack at the moment. I would love to keep them there for decoration purposes but I am torn because I don't want them to be able to be accessed by a criminal in the case of a burglary where I am not home (i.e. I don't want to come home and be staring down the barrel of my 870 12 gauge in the hands of a burglar). However, if there were a way to safely secure my guns while still on the gun rack I would love to hear that possibility too.

Thanks!

Get one bigger than you want. You won`t regret it. I bought one filled it up, bought anothe one, sold the first one, now the second one is full. Will get another one, and have two.

Welcome. That's a good topic. I agree with the search. Lots of people aren't going to post here because this topic has been hotly discussed many times.
