Is there a difference in quality with the gun safes they have at Cabela's? I just bought my 3rd rifle, and along with the 4 handguns I have my lockable closet is just not seeming appropriate for gun storage anymore. So I am looking for a safe. Which do you recommend? I was looking at the Sentry line. Something along the lines of a 20+ gun safe, as I definitely plan to expand my collection! :)

How to open a Stack- On gun safe.? We aquired a Stack-On gun safe from one of our family members. We know the code but everytime we enter it we can't open the safe. Does anyone have any information on these safes?
See through gun safes? I collect firearms and was wondering if there was a way to display them while making them as difficult to steal as if they were in a steel gun safe.

Question about gun safes? Why do the directions for a fireproof gun safe state that it is not a proper storage place for CDs? Is it a humidity issue? Chemical issue? Is there anything that can be done in order to protect CDs to allow them to be stored in a fireproof gun safe?
Just what is the mark up on gun safes? I know the reasoning behind having a gun safe and the guilt trip / reasoning of "How much would an incident cost?" But, that doesn't help. When there is little money to be had... a gun safe is too expensive. Oh, I suppose only the rich should be able to own guns...? Well, I went past a small, tall safe in K-Mart marked "Close out. $89" and it literally took me 2 or maybe, maybe 3 minutes to wake up and run back to it. Gone! Yes, that fast. It was gone. But, that brings up: How much mark up is there on these that they can dump one for $89? I need that once-in-a-life opportunity to knock a second time. There are just no inexpensive but good safes available. I don't care how ugly it is but it would be better (security and for the gun itself too) than the trigger locks I now use.
Is there a way to break into a gun safe without destroying it? Well we have a RedHead® 11/22 Fire-Resistant Gun Safe, it has a keypad for a password and what they call a spoke handle.

What kind of gun safe should we buy? We have a Springfield XD40 hand gun. I am interested in a safe for that. We also have a shotgun and I am interested in a safe for both. Can you recommend a quality safe for just the handgun or one that would fit both. Thanks.
Gun Safes in an Apartment? I'll be moving into my first place next month, and am struggling to come up with realistic solutions to the gun storage dilemma imposed by the fact that I won't be able to reinforce the floor where I would put a safe. I'm looking into steel gun cabinets, but I'm not sure if it would just be better to look for a something that at least has the appearance of a traditional safe, but is on the lighter side. Assuming a 10-gun capacity, about how heavy of a safe do you think I could get away with without having to reinforce the floor underneath? Mind you it will be full of guns and ammo, too. Thanks!
Gun Safes for an Apartment? Next month, I'll be moving into a place of my own for the first time (hooray for graduating college AND having a job! lol). The biggest concern that I have at this point is what to do about my gun collection. I have a handful of pistols and long guns, and had always just kept them in my father's safe. But now, I'll be moving into an apartment. I know that I'll need a safe, but without reinforced floors, I'm weary about getting one. I'd ideally like to get something similar to what I grew up using (digital lock, >1 hr. fire protection, etc.). However, there's no way I'd be able to put something like that in an apartment - it'd just be too darn heavy. So does anyone have any suggestions for how to store guns safely in an apartment? I'd hate to just have to toss them in a closet unprotected or with trigger locks. But I can't seem to find a decent safe that wouldn't break through the floor. Thanks. Are most landlords likely to allow you to bolt something to the wall? Also, any suggestions on brands would be helpful. Thanks!

How to work a Winchester gun safe? My wife got me a Winchester 24 gun safe for Christmas. I set it up and opened it to put my guns and stuff in and now I cant get the thing to close.

If someone has a gun to protect thier family, how can they keep it in a gun safe? I am curious because I know someone who has a gun to protect thier family but they keep it in a safe. In all fairness the gun is in the bedroom by her bed. But if someone broke into the house wouldnt it be a better idea to keep it under the matress or something? Also if someone were to keep it under the bed is there a chance it will go off, if not why not keep it there?
Installing my gun safe on one stud in a 2nd floor apartment? I'm trying to lock down my 5 foot tall gun safe in my apartment and where I want to put it I could only find one stud. I can't nail it to the floor since we have thin floors and have neighbors downstairs and have been told the floors are thin (heck I hear my neighbor downstairs doing everything! yes, everything!) What's the best way to bolt it to this stud in the wall? Or do I need to find a place with two studs?

We have a child in the house, so safety is an issue. We also want to prevent theft in case of a break in as well. Any suggestions?
On a gun safe, would you rather have an electronic lock, or a combination (dial) lock? I'm considering the purchase of a new gun safe. The model I'm looking at is available with an electronic lock or a combination (dial) lock. What are some of the pros and cons to owning a gun safe with either kind of locking system? I know an electronic lock will allow me to change the code, but batteries do run out. A combination lock always works, but I can't change the code. Your thoughts?

How can I tell if my old Iver Johnson 12 guage single shot gun is safe to shoot? It sat at my Dad's house in the Atlantic salt air. The bore shows a "little" rust. The barrel shows surface rust. I have used a solvent/lubricant to clean my gun. The breach seems to close very tightly. The trigger and pin are tight and in safe working order. The barrel is 18 1/4" and was this way when I got it in 1973.
When is the right age to actively teach children gun saftey? The only reason I ask is I was thinking about buying my nephew a .22 Rifle for Christmas. His dad is a hunter and he wants to be just like his dad. Ive spoken with My sister and his Dad and they agree that would be a perfect gift for him. His Dad has a gun safe and of course it would stay locked up. He would never get the chance to use it without his fathers supervision. Without telling you his age when is the right time age wise? Is it the sooner the better or should I wait?
Quality of Stack-On gun safes? Im looking to buy a gunsafe, and Stack-On has one thats pretty much what im looking for... but the price seems too good to be true its less than half of similar safes from other names. So if anybody has any experience with these, let me know how they worked for you. Thanks! I was looking at their fireproof 60 gun safe. Its about $2,000.

Is a stun gun an effective and safe weapon for personal protection? I wouldn't think of owning a gun. But sometimes I think I would feel safer if I had an effective, but non-lethal weapon.

With all the High School massacres, why does the US still allow gun ownership ? Ok, I know its in you constitution "the right to bear arms" but that was written back in the wild west, when there was little if any law enforcement. Wouldn't your children be safer if gun control was in place, banning firearms from homes, restricting them to Police, Defence Force Members, Security Guards and Farmers with lifestock ? We did and it's really not a big issue, Canada has as well as Australia so why can't you ?
What kind of hand gun would recommend for for home defense? My only experience with a weapon is the M16 when I was in the National Guard. Believe it or not, I don't have much experience with hand guns. The contract for my home security service is about to expire and I would feel safer if I had a weapon for protection. I would like a hand gun that's safe and easy to use. The most I would pay is $500. Any recommendations and what should I expect to pay.
